Francisella is a genus of gram-negative bacterium highly
virulent in fishes and human where F. tularensis is causing the
serious disease tularaemia in human. Recently Francisella
species have been reported to cause mortality in aquaculture
species like Atlantic cod and tilapia. We have completed the
sequencing and draft assembly of the Francisella noatunensis
subsp. o
