Complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella ictaluri isolate RUSVM-1 recovered from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Western Hemisphere

Abstract

Edwardsiella ictaluri is a Gram-negative bacillus that has recently been implicated in disease outbreaks in tilapia and zebrafish. We report here the complete and annotated genome sequence of an isolate from a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), which contains a chromosome of 3,630,639 bp and two plasmids.
