Abstract

We report seven draft genome sequences of Streptococcus canis strains revealing reduced penicillin-G susceptibility. The genomes measured 2.054-2.385 Mbp, with G+C contents of 38.8%-39.6%. Amino acid substitutions in penicillin-binding proteins were characterized as compared with those of NCTC 12191(T) genome sequence (GenBank accession number NZ_LR134293.1).

Keywords: Streptococcus canis; penicillin-G; penicillin-binding proteins; reduced susceptibility.
