Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain PH698, infecting penaeid shrimp in the Philippines

Abstract

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains in diverse settings has been reported globally. In the Philippine shrimp aquaculture industry, antibiotics are used for the treatment of bacterial diseases during the production cycle. We report the draft genome of Vibrio parahaemolyticus PH698, a multidrug-resistant strain isolated from a Philippine shrimp farm.
