Abstract
Streptococcus iniae is a beta-hemolytic, Gram-positive coccus, which affects a broad range of freshwater and marine fish species, causing substantial economic losses in the aquaculture industry worldwide. Thus, it is very important to derive a complete genome sequence of the bacterium to aid in the development of vaccines and methods for preventing fish streptococcosis and zoonotic infections in humans. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of S. iniae KCTC 11634 (1,955,615 bp, with a G+C content of 36.6%), which contains 1,868 putative coding sequences.
