                                    Citation: Hau, S.J., Bayles, D.O., Alt, D.P., Brockmeier, S.L., Frana, T.S., Nicholson, T.L. 2015. Draft genome sequences of nine Streptococcus suis strains isolated in the United States. Genome Announcements. 3(6):e01301-15.Interpretive Summary: Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen responsible for economic losses to the pig industry worldwide. Additionally, it is a zoonotic agent that can cause severe infections in those in close contact with infected pigs and/or who consume uncooked or undercooked pork products. Here, we report nine draft genome sequences of S. suis. This information can be directly used to design improved vaccines and therapeutic interventions to eradicate S. suis from swine herds that do not rely on antimicrobial use.
