Abstract:Strangles is a globally widespread, commonly diagnosed and important infectious disease
of equids caused by
Streptococcus equi
subsp.
equi
. We
performed whole genome sequencing of 19
S. equi
isolates collected from
imported horses at the Japanese border. Of these isolates, 15 isolates were obtained from
clinical cases and 4 were from subclinical cases. The 19 isolates were grouped into 3
