Draft Genome Sequences of Nine Vibrio sp. Isolates from across the United States Closely Related to Vibrio cholerae

Abstract

We are reporting whole-genome sequences of nine Vibrio sp. isolates closely related to the waterborne human pathogen Vibrio cholerae . We are reporting whole-genome sequences of nine Vibrio sp. isolates closely related to the waterborne human pathogen Vibrio cholerae . These isolates were recovered from sources, including human samples, from different regions of the United States. Genome analysis suggests that this group of isolates represents a highly divergent basal V. cholerae lineage or a closely related novel species.
