Complete genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Edwardsiella ictaluri strain MS-17-156

Abstract

Edwardsiella ictaluri is a significant pathogen of cultured fish, particularly channel catfish. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a multidrugresistant E. ictaluri strain, MS-17-156, isolated from diseased channel catfish. The genome sequence of this multidrug-resistant strain is expected to help us understand the molecular mechanism of antibiotic resistance in this important pathogen.
