Abstract

The bacterium Staphylococcus hyicus causes porcine exudative epidermitis in piglets, which represents both health and welfare concerns. Few genome sequences of this pathogen are published. We provide four additional ones to help future genomic analysis of S. hyicus. These are genomes of strains isolated from Canadian swine.

Keywords: Eastern Canada; Staphylococcus hyicus; exudative epidermitis; phylogeny; piglet; tetracycline.
