TL;DR
This paper presents draft genomes of a bee disease-causing bacteria from Fiji, helping to understand its genetic makeup and classification.
Contribution
The study provides the first draft genomes of Paenibacillus larvae from Fiji, enabling genotyping for American Foulbrood.
Findings
Draft genomes of three Paenibacillus larvae isolates from Fiji were sequenced.
The genomes allow for enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus and multilocus sequence typing analysis.
Abstract
Here, we report draft genomic sequences from three Paenibacillus larvae isolates, the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), obtained from honeybee colonies of Apis mellifera in Fiji, which allow both enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus and multilocus sequence typing genotypes to be elucidated for Fijian AFB.
