Draft Genome Sequences Of Eight Vibrio Sp. Clinical Isolates From Across The United States That Form A Basal Sister Clade To Vibrio Cholerae

We sequenced the genomes of eight isolates from various regions of the United States. These isolates form a monophyletic cluster clearly related to but distinct from Vibrio cholerae. Phylogenetic and genomic analyses suggest that they represent a basal lineage highly divergent from Vibrio cholerae or a novel species.
