Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate human pathogen. While it is a frequent commensal of
the upper respiratory tract, in some individuals the bacterium spreads to the bloodstream,
causing meningitis and/or sepsis, which are serious conditions with high morbidity and
mortality. Here we report the availability of the genome sequence of the widely used
serogroup B laboratory strain H44/76.
