# Complete genome sequence of an enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis strain 86-5443-2-2 from a piglet

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a Bacteroides fragilis strain from a piglet, including details about its genetic makeup and toxin-producing capabilities.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome sequence of a Bacteroides fragilis strain with two copies of a pathogenic island linked to enterotoxin production.

## Key findings

- The genome is a single contig of 5.4 million base pairs with 43.5% GC content.
- The strain contains two copies of a pathogenic island associated with enterotoxin production.
- The genome encodes 4,480 genes.

## Abstract

This study presents the genome sequence of Bacteroides fragilis strain 86-5443-2-2, isolated from a piglet. The genome of this strain forms a single contig spanning 5.4 million base pairs with a 43.5% GC content and 4,480 genes. Notably, this bacterium possesses two copies of a pathogenic island capable of producing enterotoxins.
