Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The bacterium Phascolarctobacterium faecium frequently colonizes the human gut and has been reported to have reduced abundance in people with Crohn’s disease. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two P. faecium strains isolated from mucosal-luminal interface samples taken from pediatric participants with/without Crohn’s disease.
