Dataset of a complete genome sequence of Vibrio owensii v2 isolated from diseased Sabah's red algae seaweed, Kappaphycus alvarezii

<i>Kappaphycus alvarezii</i>, a primary source of <i>k-</i>carrageenan, is a popular cuisine in Malaysia, particularly in Sabah. Recently, <i>Vibrio owensii</i> was detected in farmed <i>K. alvarezii. V. owensii</i> is a pathogen known to cause diseases in humans and is also an opportunistic pathogen affecting <i>K. alvarezii</i>, leading to reduced quality and yield of the seaweed. The genome sequence of <i>V. owensii</i> strain v2 was sequenced using the DNBSEQ-G400 platform. The genome is composed of two chromosomes, measuring 3,255,511 bp and 2,308,715 bp, with a G+C content of 45.6 % and 45.8 %, respectively. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that this genome strain shares 67 % similarity with other <i>V. owensii</i> strains genome. This reports the analysis of virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance genes, and other relevant categories to better understand the pathogenicity of <i>V. owensii</i> towards <i>K. alvarezii</i>.
