Genome Sequences of Four Nonhuman/Nonclinical Serovar Kentucky ST198 Isolates Recovered between 1972 and 1973.

serovar Kentucky is a polyphyletic member of subclade A1 with multiple sequence types that often colonize the same hosts but in different frequencies on different continents. To evaluate the genomic features involved in  Kentucky host specificity, we sequenced the genomes of four isolates recovered in the 1970s.
