Complete genome sequence of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida strain OT-51443 isolated from yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) in Japan

Abstract

Pseudotuberculosis caused by infection of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida has caused serious economic damages to aquaculture farms worldwide. Here, the whole-genome sequence of P. damselae subsp. piscicida strain OT- 51443, isolated in Japan, was determined and suggests that this genome consists of two chromosomes and five plasmids.
