# Complete genome sequences of Edwardsiella ictaluri strains isolated from ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis) in the Kagami and Shimanto Rivers, Kochi, Japan

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequences of seven Edwardsiella ictaluri strains found in dead ayu fish in Japan.

## Contribution

The study provides new complete genome sequences and identifies a specific genotype (ST26) in these bacterial strains.

## Key findings

- Seven complete genome sequences of Edwardsiella ictaluri were determined from ayu fish in Japan.
- Multilocus sequencing typing identified the strains as sequence-type ST26.

## Abstract

The complete genome sequences of seven Edwardsiella ictaluri strains, isolated from the kidneys of dead ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis) in Kochi’s Kagami and Shimanto Rivers, Japan, were determined. Multilocus sequencing typing revealed that their genotypes were sequence-type ST26.
