Complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella tarda strain GBS0709 isolated from a Japanese patient with the acute motor axonal neuropathy subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome

The complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella tarda strain GBS0709, isolated from an 81-year-old Japanese patient with the acute motor axonal neuropathy subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome, was determined. It comprised a 3,632,068 bp circular chromosome and a 5,386 bp plasmid. The overall guanine and cytosine content was 57.3%.
