Complete genome sequence of Varibaculum sp. GTC20041 isolated from a clinical specimen in Japan

Varibaculum is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile genus of bacteria from the family of Actinomycetaceae. In this study, we present a complete genome sequence of a newly identified Varibaculum species isolated from a human clinical specimen in Japan. The initial identification of this strain was conducted through the utilization of a MALDI-Biotyper, in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines (Bruker Japan). The identity of the strain was confirmed by determining the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene. The complete genome sequence of this strain has been determined. The sequencing was performed through a combination of long-read sequencing by nanopore (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) and short-read sequencing by NovaSeq6000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).
