Draft Genome Sequence of an Invasive Streptococcus agalactiae Isolate Lacking Pigmentation

This report provides the whole-genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae isolate GB00037 isolated from a newborn in Calgary, Canada. This serotype V isolate is unique because it lacks pigment production previously shown to be critical for S. agalactiae virulence.
