Genome sequence of the human-pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus type strain ATCC 27562

Abstract

Vibrio vulnificus, which is the causative agent of cholera, is a Gram-negative, curved, motile, and rod-shaped bacterium. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the type strain, ATCC 27562, which was the first isolated Vibrio vulnificus strain. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
