Abstract

Two pasteurization-resistant strains, VHT1 and VHT2, of environmental, viable but nonculturable, pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from environmental oysters. Their whole-genome sequences were constructed. The genome sizes for VHT1 and VHT2 are 5.11 Mbp and 5.26 Mbp, respectively.
