Complete genome sequence of Clostridium perfringens LLY_N11, a necrotic enteritis-inducing strain isolated from a healthy chicken intestine

Abstract

Clostridium perfringens strain LLY_N11, a commensal bacterium, which previously induced necrotic enteritis in an experimental study, was isolated from the intestine of a young healthy chicken. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of this strain, which may provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in necrotic enteritis pathogenesis.
