Complete Genome Sequences of Eight Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus Strains Isolated from Mares in Estrus with Endometritis

Abstract

Eight isolates of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus were isolated from mares with clinical cases of endometritis. S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus strains were chosen for sequencing based on differing levels of biofilm production in vitro . Using Illumina short-read sequencing in conjunction with MinION sequencing, we report the genomes of eight isolates.
