Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative bacterium and an opportunistic pathogen that can cause septicemia or necrotizing fasciitis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 42 environmental V. vulnificus strains collected from the northern Gulf of Mexico. These data will allow for more robust comparisons between clinical and environmental strains.
Highlights
Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative bacterium and an opportunistic pathogen that can cause septicemia or necrotizing fasciitis
The draft genome assemblies were filtered by length (500-bp cutoff), and assembly metrics were calculated by QUAST version 4.1 (17) to determine which assembler (SPAdes or MaSuRCA) produced a higher-quality genome
The raw sequence reads were deposited in the Sequence Read Archive under BioProject accession number PRJNA475262
