Abstract
Lactococcus garvieae, which is generally known as a marine and freshwater fish pathogen, is now considered to be an emerging zoonotic pathogen in both human and veterinary medicine. In recent years, we have reported the infection of L. garvieae LG-ilsanpaik-gs201105 in the gallbladder of an old fisherman. In this study, we present the draft genome sequence of L. garvieae LG-ilsanpaik-gs201105, with a total genome size of 1,960,261 bp in 53 contigs and a 38.1% average G+C content. Interestingly, the capsule gene cluster, which was known as one of the crucial virulence factors in L. garvieae, was not detected in our isolate. This is the first genome sequence of human-pathogenic L. garvieae, which caused acute acalculous cholecystitis.

We reported the first case of acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by L. garvieae in a 69-year-old fisherman (4)
A total of 1,899 open reading frames (ORFs) were detected in the bacterial genome, and its Gene ontology (GO) analysis results revealed that 33.7%, 37.9%, and 6.3% of the sequences included genes related to biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components, respectively
Summary
Lactococcus garvieae, which is generally known as a marine and freshwater fish pathogen, is considered to be an emerging zoonotic pathogen in both human and veterinary medicine. Lactococcus garvieae is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes septicemia in various marine and freshwater fish (1) and subclinical mastitis in ruminants (2). We reported the first case of acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by L. garvieae in a 69-year-old fisherman (4). The isolate, obtained from the fisherman’s gallbladder, was identified as L. garvieae and designated L. garvieae LG-ilsanpaik-gs201105.
