Complete genome sequences of three Streptococcus agalactiae serotype Ia isolates obtained from disease outbreaks in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Abstract

This paper describes the whole-genome sequences for three Streptococcus agalactiae serotype Ia isolates. The isolates were recovered from the brains of clinically sick tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, that were suffering from streptococcosis. One isolate was from tilapia in the United States and the other two from fish in China.
