# Complete genome sequences of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains B204 and JR80

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequences of two Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains with different hemolytic properties to help understand their genetic differences.

## Contribution

The study provides complete genome sequences of two Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains with distinct hemolytic traits.

## Key findings

- The complete genome sequences of B204 and JR80 strains are reported.
- The genetic basis for differing hemolytic phenotypes is explored.

## Abstract

We report on the complete genome sequences of strongly hemolytic Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain B204 and weakly hemolytic Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain JR80 as an important contribution for studying the genetic basis for these different phenotypes. The basionym for both strains is Treponema hyodysenteriae, and the homotypic synonym is Serpulina hyodysenteriae.
