We sequenced
Vibrio owensii
strain SH-14, which causes serious acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp. Sequence analysis showed a large extrachromosomal plasmid, which encoded
pir
toxin genes and shared highly sequence similarity with the one observed in AHPND-causing
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
strains. The results suggest that this plasmid appears to play an important role in shrimp AHPND.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
is the leading cause of seafood-related gastroenteritis. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a
trh
+
strain,
V. parahaemolyticus
K23, isolated from seafood. The sequence will be useful for comparative analysis between environmental and clinical isolates of
V. parahaemolyticus
.
A strain of
Vibrio
(KC13.17.5) causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp in northern Vietnam was isolated. Normally, AHPND is caused by
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
, but the genomic sequence of the strain indicated that it belonged to
Vibrio harveyi
. The sequence data included plasmid-like sequences and putative virulence genes.
ABSTRACT
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of an isolate of
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
, VP14, recovered from the gut of
Penaeus vannamei
shrimp farmed in southern India. The genome of VP14 comprised 5,224,046 bp with a GC content of 45.3% and contained 5,326 genes, including 4,972 coding sequences.
