Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, mesophilic bacterium that infects both aquatic poikilothermic animals and mammals, including humans. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila strain ML09-119, which represents a clonal group of A. hydrophila isolates causing outbreaks of bacterial septicemia in channel catfish since 2009.

Strain ML09-119 is an isolate from a disease outbreak on a commercial catfish farm, and it is representative of this clonal group
The genome sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila ML09-119 was completed using a combination of Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx next-generation sequencing (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA)
Summary
Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, mesophilic bacterium that infects both aquatic poikilothermic animals and mammals, including humans. Aeromonas hydrophila is historically considered an opportunistic pathogen. Since 2009 a clonal group of A. hydrophila isolates have been causing large-scale disease outbreaks in Alabama and Mississippi [7]. Strain ML09-119 is an isolate from a disease outbreak on a commercial catfish farm, and it is representative of this clonal group.
