Vibrio vulnificus B2 strain:B2 Genome sequencing and assembly. Vibrio vulnificus B2 strain:B2

Vibrio vulnificus, which is one of the most invasive and fatal human pathogens, is a kind of halophilic bacterium. This bacterium is widely exist in warm coastal and estuarine waters, and can be frequently isolated from the consumption of raw seafoods. Vibrio vulnificus has long been divided into three biotypes. Biotype1 is usually isolated from human, Biotype2 is more closely related to seafood and Biotype3 is becoming an emerging pathogen. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of type strain B2, which isolated from a septicemia patient in 2010. Vibrio vulnificus, which can lead to rapidly expanding cellulitis or septicemia, is presents in marine environment.
