Draft genome sequence of Streptomyces fradiae ATCC 19609, a strain highly sensitive to antibiotics

Abstract

We report here a sequence of the genome of the Streptomyces fradiae ATCC 19609 strain, initially isolated from the soil, which produces tylosin. S. fradiae is highly sensitive to different classes of antibiotics, compared to the sensitivities of other bacteria. We have identified 9 groups of genes directly or indirectly involved in the resistome formation.
