Draft genome sequences of <i>Corynebacterium hindlerae</i> isolated from ticks collected in Isiolo and Kilifi, Kenya
We report the sequencing of two <i>Corynebacterium hindlerae</i> genomes from ticks collected from cattle in Isiolo and Kilifi Counties, Kenya. These ticks belong to the species <i>Hyalomma truncatum</i> and <i>Amblyomma lepidum</i>. Phylogenetic analysis shows a close relationship between the sequenced <i>C. hindlerae</i> isolates and <i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i> and <i>Corynebacterium belfantii</i>.
