M.T.G.H. and P.C. were supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant number 098051)We report here the complete annotated genome sequence of a clinical serovar 8 isolate Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae MIDG2331. Unlike the serovar 8 reference strain 405, MIDG2331 is amenable to genetic manipulation via natural transformation as well as conjugation, making it ideal for studies of gene function.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
