Complete genome sequences of eight Pasteurella multocida isolates representing all lipopolysaccharide outer core loci.

Abstract

Pasteurella multocida (PM) is a major bacterial pathogen that causes fowl cholera disease in both domestic poultry and wild birds. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of eight PM isolates representing all known lipopolysaccharide outer core loci, which are phenotypically expressed as 16 known PM serotypes.
