Complete Genome Sequences of Three Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Strains from Avian Sources, Using Hybrid Nanopore-Illumina Assembly

Abstract

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale has been associated with respiratory disease in poultry, particularly turkeys, leading to significant economic losses. However, O. rhinotracheale is poorly studied, and a very limited number of complete genomes are available. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three O. rhinotracheale strains, generated using a Nanopore-Illumina hybrid assembly approach.
