Abstract

The whole-genome sequences are described here for three group B Streptococcus (GBS) (S. agalactiae) serotype Ib isolates obtained from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farmed at sites in Honduras, Costa Rica, and the United States. The bacteria were isolated from the brains of fish displaying signs of streptococcosis.
