Lactobacillus gasseri frequently colonizes the lower urinary tract of healthy women. However, the role of L. gasseri in urinary tract health and the genes required for urinary tract colonization are poorly understood. Herein, we announce the complete genome sequences of three Lactobacillus gasseri isolates collected from the urine of postmenopausal women.
