Whole-genome sequencing of the hemorrhagic septicemia vaccine strain in Bangladesh.

Hemorrhagic septicemia (HS) is an acute and economically important bacterial disease of cattle and buffalo caused by Pasteurella multocida. In this study, we report the whole-genome sequence of the HS vaccine strain, P. multocida BLRI-LRI-HS (Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute-Livestock Research Institute-hemorrhagic septicemia-vac), used for vaccine production in Bangladesh. The assembled genome was approximately 2.3 Mbp, with 40.5% GC content.
