Complete genome of Vibrio parahaemolyticus FORC014 isolated from the toothfish.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Foodborne illness can occur due to various pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and can cause severe gastroenteritis symptoms. In this study, we completed the genome sequence of a foodborne pathogen V. parahaemolyticus FORC_014, which was isolated from suspected contaminated toothfish from South Korea. Additionally, we extended our knowledge of genomic characteristics of the FORC_014 strain through comparative analysis using the complete sequences of other V. parahaemolyticus strains whose complete genomes have previously been reported.

Results

The complete genome sequence of V. parahaemolyticus FORC_014 was generated using the PacBio RS platform with single molecule, re
