Genome sequence of Moraxella macacae 0408225, a novel bacterial species isolated from a cynomolgus macaque with epistaxis

Abstract

Moraxella macacae is a recently described bacterial species that has been associated with at least two outbreaks of epistaxis in macaques. Here we present the first genome sequence of this novel species, isolated from a symptomatic cynomolgus macaque at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
