Genomic insights into diversity, antimicrobial resistance and virulence of <i>Glaesserella parasuis</i> from diseased swine in Peru.

ABSTRACT: Glaesserella parasuis is an important bacterial pathogen and the etiological agent of Glässer's disease, which causes substantial economic losses on swine farms worldwide. Although large scale genome studies have been carried out in the North hemisphere, few genomes from South America are available limiting our knowledge of the full genetic diversity of this bacteria. In this study, seventeen clinical G. parasuis isolates from diseased swine in Peru where whole genome sequenced and compared with publicly available genomes. We identified seven distinct sequence types and five serotypes being more prevalent: the emergent ST454 and novel ST726 and serotypes 7 and 12. Although most isolates did not carried any antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) we identified a large cassette of
