Draft Genome Sequence of the Fish Pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis.

ABSTRACT Piscirickettsia salmonis is a Gram-negative intracellular fish pathogen that has a significant impact on the salmon industry. Here, we report the genome sequence of P. salmonis strain LF-89. This is the first draft genome sequence of P. salmonis , and it reveals interesting attributes, including flagellar genes, despite this bacterium being considered nonmotile.
