complete genome sequence of Tannerella forsythia 3313. Tannerella forsythia 3313

Tannerella forsythia is a Gram negative obligate anaerobic pathogen, pleomorphic, non-motile, spindle-shaped, rodsand and regarded as a key contributor to periodontitis. Except for ATCC 43037, a laboratory strain widely used as a reference, no complete genome sequence of T. forsythia isolate was available, because the bacteria requires strict culture condition. We, therefore, determined the complete genome sequences of two clinical isolates（KS16, 33-13).
