Abstract

The bacterium Edwardsiella ictaluri causes disease in finfish and has been shown to infect multiple species. Eleven E. ictaluri genomes were sequenced, assembled, and annotated from a collection of isolates recovered from several different finfish species. This will serve as a valuable resource for comparative genomics studies.

Keywords: catfish; fish pathogens.
