Draft genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae FBC260 causing Meningoencephalitis in Cultured Nile Tilapia from the Philippines

This project focuses on sequencing the draft genome of Streptococcus agalactiae strain FBC260, isolated from cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Philippines. The bacterium is known to cause meningoencephalitis, a severe disease impacting the aquaculture industry. The genome analysis provides essential data for developing preventive and treatment strategies to mitigate the disease's impact.
