Complete Reference Genome Sequence of the Clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strain H035, with Resistance to the Novel Antimicrobial Zoliflodacin, Identified in Japan in 2000.

Zoliflodacin is a promising novel antimicrobial in clinical development for treatment of gonorrhea; currently, it is in a global phase 3 randomized controlled clinical trial. High activity against global Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains has been shown. We present the complete reference genome of the zoliflodacin-resistant strain H035, which was identified in Japan in 2000.
