Draft Genome Sequence of Clinical Strain TANI1 of Streptococcus suis Serotype 5 Isolated from a Bacteremia Patient in Japan

摘要

Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen that causes severe economic damage to the porcine industry. It occasionally evokes zoonotic infection in humans. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of a S.?suis serotype 5 strain isolated from a bacteremia patient that was reported by Taniyama et al. (D. Taniyama, M. Sakurai, T. Sakai, T. Kikuchi, and T. Takahashi, IDCases 6:36–38, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.idcr.2016.09.011).
