Draft Genome Sequences of Two Virulent Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus Swine Isolates from Pennsylvania

Abstract

Draft genome sequences of two outbreak isolates of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus from one of the Pennsylvania swine herds affected with high mortality and morbidity are reported here. The genome analysis revealed that the isolates are closely related to a virulent strain originally identified in China.
