Abstract

Chromobacterium subtsugae exhibits toxicity to Drosophila melanogaster, providing a new infection model to study host homeostasis. Previous studies using pathogen models have proven to be a useful tool to understand host physiology. Here, we report on the whole-genome sequences of these microbes obtained from short and long reads.

Keywords: Drosophila; gut homeostasis; host-pathogen; infection model.
