Abstract

Serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with major invasive pneumococcal diseases in humans. We report the circularized 2.0-Mbp complete genome sequence of invasive serotype 3 S. pneumoniae strain B1900, untypeable by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). This strain was isolated from the brain of an infant rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) that suddenly died of meningitis with no clinical symptoms.
