High quality genome sequence of Treponema phagedenis KS1 isolated from bovine digital dermatitis

Treponema phagedenis KS1, a fastidious anaerobe, was isolated from a bovine digital dermatitis (BDD)-infected dairy cattle in Chungnam, Korea. Initial data indicated that T. phagedenis KS1 exhibited putative virulent phenotypic characteristics. This study reports the whole genome assembly and annotation of T. phagedenis KS1 (KCTC14157BP) to assist in the identification of putative pathogenicity related factors. The whole genome of T. phagedenis KS1 was sequenced using PacBio RSII and Illumina HiSeqXTen platforms. The assembled T. phagedenis KS1 genome comprises 16 contigs with a total size of 3,769,422 bp and an overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 40.03%. Annotation revealed 3,460 protein-coding genes, as well as 49 transfer RNA- and 6 ribosomal RNA-coding genes. The results of this study provide insight into the pathogenicity of T. phagedenis KS1.
