title: Draft Genome Sequences of Two Genetic Variant Strains of Edwardsiella piscicida, JF1305 and RSB1309, Isolated from Olive Flounder (Paralichythys olivaceus) and Red Sea Bream (Pagrus major) Cultured in Japan, Respectively.
abstract: Edwardsiella piscicida is a new species discovered within the group of organisms traditionally classified as Edwardsiella tarda. We present draft genome sequences of two variant strains of E. piscicida, JF1305 and RSB1309. Differences in protein-coding sequence between these isolates are associated with virulence, disease, and defense, suggesting differences in pathogenicity.
