Abstract

We report the draft genome of Streptococcus agalactiae serotype Ia strain FBC260, associated with hemorrhagic septicemia and massive cellular meningitis in cultured Nile tilapia from the Philippines. This genomic resource of S. agalactiae from the Philippines will provide valuable insights for disease management.

Keywords: Streptococcus agalactiae; aquaculture; tilapia.
