Abstract
Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 are commonly associated with diarrhea, while non-O1-O139 strains may cause wound infections. Here, we present the genome sequences of two V. cholerae strains isolated from blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) collected in coastal waters of southern Sweden.
Highlights
Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 are commonly associated with diarrhea, while non-O1-O139 strains may cause wound infections
After filtering away contigs Ͻ500 bp and contigs of very low coverage, the draft genomes were ordered against the complete non-O1 Vibrio cholerae LMA3894-4 genome, using Mauve [7] and annotated with the Prokka pipeline [8], using V. cholerae N16961
The GϩC content is 47.5%, and 3,622 coding sequences, 64 tRNA genes, and seven rRNA genes were identified with Prokka
Summary
Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 are commonly associated with diarrhea, while non-O1-O139 strains may cause wound infections. Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative aquatic bacterium, and cholera toxin (ctxAB)-producing strains may cause cholera [1]. The great majority of marine V. cholerae strains are apathogenic and do not carry any biomarkers commonly used in virulence screening. No biomarkers have yet been detected to identify these strains [2, 3].
