Interpretive Summary: This is the first announcement of the sequencing and assembly of the bacterial genome of a Proteus miriabilis isolated from the salivary glands of a fly (Lucilia sericata). This strain has been shown, in our laboratory, to be an attractant to a blow fly species important to medical, agricultural, and forensic science.

Technical Abstract: We announced a draft genome sequence of a Proteus mirabilis strain derived from Lucilia sericata salivary glands. This strain is demonstrated to attract and induce oviposition by L. sericata, a common blow fly important to medicine, agriculture, and forensics. The genome will help to dissect interkingdom communication between the species.
