- Abstract
Lactococcosis, caused by members of the genus Lactococcus, represents a devastating disease inducing mass mortalities and economic losses in many fish species worldwide. The present work aimed to compare the whole genome sequences of three different serotypes of Lactococcus garvieae isolated from diseased cultured striped jack (Pseudocaranx dentex) in Ehime prefecture, Japan. The three serotypes showed different virulence in the challenge test using Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata). The genome sequencing revealed that two of the strains (serotype I and serotype III) were identified as L. garvieae, while the third strain (serotype II) was identified as L. formosensis. The chromosome sizes of the three serotypes ranged from 1.9 to 2.0 Mb; the GC content ranges were 38.2 to 38.9%; and the numbers of predicted protein‐coding sequences (CDSs) were from 1922 to 1959. Only the serotype II harbours two plasmids, sizes of around 14 kb and 9 kb. The detected virulence factors varied among the different serotypes with some shared factors like adherence, anti‐phagocytosis, secretion system, toxin (haemolysin), serum resistance, antimicrobial resistance and others. The genomes also contained factors responsible for resistance to toxic compounds. The genome of the serotype III tended to encode more prophage regions than the other serotypes.
