We report 17 draft genomes for 14 unidentified Veillonella sp. strains closely related in 16S rRNA gene-based phylogeny and type strains of 3 Veillonella species with the aims of deciphering relationships between related species, evaluating the accuracy of current thresholds for species delineation, and robustly describing new species in the genus.
