Whole-genome shotgun sequencing of a colonizing multilocus sequence type 17 Streptococcus agalactiae strain

J Bacteriol. 2012 Nov;194(21):6005. doi: 10.1128/JB.01378-12.

Abstract

This report highlights the whole-genome shotgun draft sequence for a Streptococcus agalactiae strain representing multilocus sequence type (ST) 17, isolated from a colonized woman at 8 weeks postpartum. This sequence represents an important addition to the published genomes and will promote comparative genomic studies of S. agalactiae recovered from diverse sources.
