Hybrid de novo assembly of Illumina/Nanopore sequence data produced a complete circular sequence of the chromosome for a Clostridioides difficile ribotype 255 (RT255) isolate from an elderly patient with recurrent C. difficile infection (CDI). This provides a high-quality representative sequence for the RT255 lineage.
