We determined the genome sequence of the type strain ofHelicobacter canadensis , an emerging human pathogen with diverse animal reservoirs. Potential virulence determinants carried by the genome include systems for N-linked glycosylation and capsular export. A protein-based phylogenetic analysis placesH. canadensis close toWolinella succinogenes .
