Abstract

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 19 is a very recently described new serotype with a novel type II capsule synthesis locus. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 19 strains with a serogroup 3/6/8/12/15 O-antigen locus that were isolated in 2018 and 2021 from two different pig farms in Switzerland.
