Draft genome sequences of <i>Lactococcus petauri</i> isolated from Nile tilapia ( <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> ) and rainbow trout ( <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i> ) in Mexican farms
ABSTRACT Lactococcus petauri is an emerging fish pathogen linked to septicemia. We report draft genome sequences of two L. petauri isolates from independent lactococcosis outbreaks in Mexican fish farms. This study confirms L. petauri presence in Mexico and provides the first genomic data on this pathogen.
