Whole-genome sequencing of the hemorrhagic septicemia vaccine strain in Bangladesh

Hemorrhagic septicemia (HS) is an acute and economically important bacterial disease of cattle and buffalo caused by Pasteurella multocida . In this study, we report the whole-genome sequence of the HS vaccine strain, P. multocida BLRI-LRI-HS (Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute-Livestock Research Institute-hemorrhagic septicemia-vac), used for vaccine production in Bangladesh. The assembled genome was approximately 2.3 Mbp, with 40.5% GC content.
