Relevant genetic characteristics: Whole genome sequences for 74 strains of S. Agona have been deposited at GenBank as of October, 2013. Genomic characteristics of the sequenced S. Agona include (i) a genome size ranging from 4.70 to 4.95 Mb, (ii) a mol G+C% of approx. 52, and (iii) 4,658 to 4,934 predicted genes. Comparative genomics of 73 of the sequenced strains identified three lineages of S. Agona that emerged approx. 80 years ago. S. Agona has an accessory genome of approx. 1.3 Mb; this accessory genome includes (i) multiple prophages (P2-like, Fels-like, Lambda-like), (ii) antibiotic resistance plasmids (e.g., IncI1 plasmids), (iii) genomic islands, (iv) transposons, and (v) chromosomal integrons.
