Draft Genome Sequence of Avibacterium paragallinarum Strain 221

Abstract

Avibacterium paragallinarum is the causative agent of infectious coryza. Here we report the draft genome sequence of reference strain 221 of A. paragallinarum serovar A. The genome is composed of 135 contigs for 2,685,568 bp with a 41% G+C content.

The Genome Sequence of Avibacterium paragallinarum Strain CL Has a Large Repertoire of Insertion Sequence Elements

“…Among the promising strategies for the control of this disease, determination of DNA sequences of the A. paragallinarum genome is the most outstanding strategy to study its pathogenesis at a molecular level. To date, only three genome sequences of the strains AVP72, 221, and JF4211 of A. paragallinarum have been assembled in scaffolds ( 6 , 7 , 8 ). To investigate the genomic basis of the pathogenesis of this bacterium, the A. paragallinarum CL strain serovar C was used for whole-genome sequencing, which revealed an enhanced richness of insertion sequence (IS) elements that could explain the reduced assembly of these genomes.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of the Virulent Avibacterium paragallinarum Serotype A Strain JF4211 and Identification of Two Toxins

“…The genes for both toxins were found to be almost identical in the A. paragallinarum serotype C strain 72 and serotype A strain 221 (9) available from the NCBI (accession no. AFFP01000000 and AOGF01000000, respectively); thus, both serotypes A and C are very likely to be sensitive to a potential immune response developed against those toxins.…”
