Genome sequencing of Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from Jinding duck ( Anas platyrhynchos ) in Bangladesh

Key Points

To investigate the genetic makeup of Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from Jinding ducks in Bangladesh.
Sequenced the genomes of strains DC3 and DC4
Measured genome sizes (approximately 2.49 Mbp and 2.5 Mbp)
Analyzed sequence depth coverage (1,043× for DC3 and 899× for DC4)
Determined G+C contents (40.45% for DC3 and 40.38% for DC4)
Identified two distinct strains of Pasteurella multocida
Both strains had similar genome sizes around 2.5 Mbp
High sequence depth coverage indicates reliability of the genome data
G+C content was consistent across both strains

Abstract

Fowl cholera, a highly transmissible disease in ducks, is caused by Pasteurella multocida; we report the two strains of P. multocida, DC3 and DC4. The assembled genome sizes were ~2.49 Mbp (DC3) and ~2.5 Mbp (DC4) with sequence depth coverage 1,043 and 899×, respectively. The G+C contents were 40.45% and 40.38%, respectively.
