Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is an important opportunistic pathogen that infects a variety of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans. We report here the draft genome sequence of A. hydrophila Ae34, a multidrug-resistant isolate from the kidney of a moribund koi carp (Ciprinus carpio koi) with signs of hemorrhagic septicemia.
Highlights
Aeromonas hydrophila is an important opportunistic pathogen that infects a variety of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans
Aeromonas hydrophila has long been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen causing septicemia in many species of freshwater fish [1]
Aquarium-raised tropical ornamental fish are highly prone to infections caused by A. hydrophila and other mesophilic aeromonads [2,3,4], due to various stressors that accompany intensive management practices in commercial ornamental fish production, as well as to the ubiquitous nature of aeromonads in tropical waters
