Complete Genome Sequences of Three Fish-Associated Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The whole-genome sequences are described here for three group B Streptococcus (GBS) (S. agalactiae) serotype Ib isolates obtained from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farmed at sites in Honduras, Costa Rica, and the United States. The bacteria were isolated from the brains of fish displaying signs of streptococcosis.

Complete Genome Sequences of Three Streptococcus agalactiae Serotype Ia Isolates Obtained from Disease Outbreaks in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
This paper describes the whole-genome sequences for three Streptococcus agalactiae serotype Ia isolates. The isolates were recovered from the brains of clinically sick tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, that were suffering from streptococcosis. One isolate was from tilapia in the United States and the other two from fish in China.
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Two Pathogenic Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates from the One-Humped Camel Camelus dromedarius
Streptococcus agalactiae causes a range of clinical syndromes in camels (Camelus dromedarius). We report the genome sequences of two S. agalactiae isolates that induce abscesses in Kenyan camels. These genomes provide novel data on the composition of the S. agalactiae "pan genome" and reveal the presence of multiple genomic islands.
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences and Classification of Streptococcus agalactiae Strains Isolated from Laboratory-Reared Long-Evans Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
In collaboration with the CDC's Streptococcus Laboratory, we report here the whole-genome sequences of seven Streptococcus agalactiae bacteria isolated from laboratory-reared Long-Evans rats. Four of the S. agalactiae isolates were associated with morbidity accompanied by endocarditis, metritis, and fatal septicemia, providing an opportunity for comparative genomic analysis of this opportunisti...
متن کاملLong-range mapping of the Streptococcus agalactiae phylogenetic lineage restriction digest pattern type III-3 reveals clustering of virulence genes.
Human isolates of serotype III Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) can be divided into three separate phylogenetic lineages based on analysis of the restriction digest patterns (RDPs) of chromosomal DNA. Nine DNA sequences that are present in all isolates of the RDP III-3 phylogenetic lineage, but not in the other lineages, were identified by genomic subtractive hybridization...
متن کاملPathogenicity of Human ST23 Streptococcus agalactiae to Fish and Genomic Comparison of Pathogenic and Non-pathogenic Isolates
Streptococcus agalactiae, or Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a major pathogen causing neonatal sepsis and meningitis, bovine mastitis, and fish meningoencephalitis. CC23, including its namesake ST23, is not only the predominant GBS strain derived from human and cattle, but also can infect a variety of homeothermic and poikilothermic species. However, it has never been characterized in fish. Thi...
