Complete genome sequence of multidrug-resistant <i>Edwardsiella ictaluri</i> A21-00102 isolated from channel catfish ( <i>Ictalurus punctatus</i> ) in the United States
ABSTRACT Edwardsiella ictaluri is the causative agent of enteric septicemia of catfish, a major disease associated with high mortality and economic loss in U.S. aquaculture. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of E. ictaluri A21-00102, a multidrug-resistant strain, consisting of a chromosome of 3,829,734 bp and three plasmids.
