Arcanobacterium pinnipediorum Strain DSM 28752 Isolated from a Harbour Seal: Complete Genome Sequence

The genus Arcanobacterium is constantly growing as novel species are identified. In particular, harbor seals have proven to be a common reservoir for bacteria of this genus. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of another Arcanobacterium species-namely, Arcanobacterium pinnipediorum strain DSM 28752, isolated from a harbor seal.

Automated summary

The genus Arcanobacterium continues to expand with the identification of novel species. Harbor seals have been found to commonly carry bacteria from this genus. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of another Arcanobacterium species, specifically Arcanobacterium pinnipediorum strain DSM 28752, isolated from a harbor seal.
