Abstract
We announce the draft genome assembly of Lactococcus garvieae strain PAQ102015-99, a recently isolated strain from an outbreak of lactococcosis at a commercial trout farm in the northwestern United States. The draft genome comprises 14 contigs totaling 2,068,357 bp with an N50 of 496,618 bp and average G+C content of 38%.
Highlights
Lactococcus garvieae, the causative agent of lactococcosis, is a highly virulent Gram-positive pathogen of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and is recognized as one of the most significant disease threats to the European trout farming industry [1, 2]
L. garvieae has been a major cause of loss in cultured marine fish in Asia [6] and strains of L. garvieae have been associated with disease in other animals, humans, and isolated from human food sources [7, 8]
We identified an outbreak of lactococcosis at a rainbow trout farm in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States
Summary
Lactococcus garvieae, the causative agent of lactococcosis, is a highly virulent Gram-positive pathogen of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and is recognized as one of the most significant disease threats to the European trout farming industry [1, 2]. Lactococcosis was originally identified in Italy and Spain but rapidly spread throughout most of Europe and the United Kingdom and subsequently has been documented in Australia and South Africa [3,4,5]. L. garvieae has been a major cause of loss in cultured marine fish in Asia [6] and strains of L. garvieae have been associated with disease in other animals, humans, and isolated from human food sources [7, 8].
