Abstract
We report the complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis 262, isolated from a bovine host. C. pseudotuberculosis is an etiological agent of diseases with medical and veterinary relevance. The genome contains 2,325,749 bp, 52.8% G+C content, 2,022 coding sequences (CDS), 50 pseudogenes, 48 tRNAs, and 12 rRNAs.
Highlights
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular, pleomorphic, nonsporulating, noncapsulated, nonmotile bacterium that is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in small ruminants and pyogranulomatus reactions, ulcerative lymphangitis, and mastitic, necrotic, and ulcerative dermatitis in cattle, all of which are diseases with medical and veterinary relevance
The organisms that perform the reduction of nitrate are classified into biovar equi, most of which have been isolated from horses and cattle
We report the genome sequencing of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis 262, the first strain belonging to biovar equi isolated from a bovine host
Summary
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular, pleomorphic, nonsporulating, noncapsulated, nonmotile bacterium that is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in small ruminants and pyogranulomatus reactions, ulcerative lymphangitis, and mastitic, necrotic, and ulcerative dermatitis in cattle, all of which are diseases with medical and veterinary relevance. C. pseudotuberculosis affects several species, including sheep, goat, horse, cattle, llama, alpaca, buffalo, and human. According to their capability for nitrate reduction, the strains of C. pseudotuberculosis are divided into two biovars. The organisms that perform the reduction of nitrate are classified into biovar equi, most of which have been isolated from horses and cattle.
