Robinsoniella peoriensis is a recently described microorganism belonging to the Lachnospiraceae, a family known to be abundant in the human gut. This paper presents the genome analysis of Robinsoniella peoriensis strain CHUV1189, isolated from blood in an elderly patient suffering from bacteraemia. We performed a comparative analysis with the four other available draft genomes of that species. The 7'298’622 base pairs draft genome contains 5844 coding sequences and two plasmids. Identified virulence factors included adhesins, two catalases and one superoxide dismutase, as well as a β-lactamase. In conclusion, genes content of R. peoriensis is compatible with a commensal human bacterium, that possess a pathogenic potential once displaced outside its natural habitat.
