We report the genome sequence of IE35, a strain of Streptococcus gordonii isolated from the blood of a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis. Whole-genome sequencing of S. gordonii IE35 strain by the combination of Illumina HiSeq2000 paired-end, Ion Torrent single-end sequencing and gap closing by Illumina NextSeq yielded a single, circular chromosome of 2,190,105 bp. It had 2106 predicted coding sequences, of which 2014 genes encoded proteins involved in various cellular processes and 66 genes coded for RNA. The predicted RNA genes were annotated up to pathway level and genes responsible for various metabolic processes and virulence were identified.
