Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae is a major pathogen and is the leading cause of neonatal infections in industrialized countries. The diversity of strains isolated from two pregnant women was investigated. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of strains W8A2, W8A6, W10E2, and W10F3, obtained in order to ascertain their phylogenetic affiliation.

Phylogeny of the clinical isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae with reference genomes, resolved with SNPs. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) phylogenetic tree was inferred from the 19,460 SNPs detected in the whole-genome sequences of clinical isolates in comparison to the reference strain, Streptococcus agalactiae NEM316. The number of SNPs identified between the strains is indicated along the top.
