Draft Genome Sequences of Bacteroides pyogenes Strains Isolated from the Uterus of Holstein Dairy Cows with Metritis

Abstract

Bacteroides pyogenes is found in the human and animal gut and is implicated in the pathogenesis of metritis in cows. We report the draft genome sequences of four Bacteroides pyogenes isolates obtained from the uterus of metritic cows. This will increase the understanding of its pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance, and differentiation across hosts.
