Genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae strain 09mas018883, isolated from a Swedish cow

Zubair, S., Villiers, E.P. de, Fuxelius, H.H., Andersson, G., Johansson, K.E., Bishop, R.P. and Bongcam-Rudloff, E. 2013. Genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae strain 09mas018883, isolated from a Swedish cow. Genome Announcements 1(4): e00456-13.

We announce the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae strain 09mas018883, isolated from the milk of a cow with clinical mastitis. The availability of this genome may allow identification of candidate genes, leading to discovery of antigens that might form the basis for development of a vaccine as an alternative means of mastitis control.
