Abstract

We report a draft genome sequence for Dichelobacter nodosus ATCC 25549, strain VPI 2340 [11342], a causative agent of ovine footrot. The draft genome shares ~98% gene similarity with the available genome of D. nodosus strain VCS1703A but is differentiated by extensive gene duplication and the absence of 13 particular genes.
