Draft genome sequences of <i>Corynebacterium mastitidis</i> strains isolated from ocular surface of CD36-knockout mice (B6.129S1- <i> Cd36 <sup>tm1Mfe</sup> </i> /J) with keratitis
Three <i>Corynebacterium mastitidis</i> strains were cultured from the eyes of CD36-knockout mice (B6.129S1-<i>Cd36<sup>tm1Mfe</sup></i>/J) with and without keratitis housed at a biomedical research institute. Bacteria were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq technology for subsequent phylogenetic characterization and identification of virulence factor genes conferring pathogenic potential.
