Draft genome sequence of a nonhemolytic fish-pathogenic Streptococcus agalactiae strain

J Bacteriol. 2012 Nov;194(22):6341-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.01552-12.

Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae is a significant Gram-positive bacterial pathogen of terrestrial and aquatic animals. A subpopulation of nonhemolytic strains which appear to be pathogenic only for poikilotherms exists. We report here the first draft genome sequence of a nonhemolytic S. agalactiae isolate recovered from a diseased fish.
