Draft genome sequence of Lactococcus garvieae serotype III from cobia (Rachycentron canadum) in Japan
Lactococcus garvieae causes lactococcosis in several marine cultured fish species in Japan. A new L. garvieae serotype III was recently isolated from diseased striped jack Pseudocaranx dentex, yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata and amberjack S. dumerili. Here, we firstly isolated L. garvieae serotype III strains LC-2313 and LC-2323 from cage cultured cobia Rachycentron canadum.
