 Nocardia seriolae is a pathogen responsible for fish nocardiosis, a chronic disease affecting over 40 species of marine and freshwater fish. This poses a serious threat to aquaculture, yet understanding its full impact is challenging due to limited data. Although several genomes are available, there is a lack of comparative genomic studies and effective treatments. This study focused on analyzing the pangenome of N. seriolae, revealing genetic similarity across strains and a movement toward genome completeness. The findings highlight the need for more genomic sequencing to better understand the pathogen's diversity and adaptability.
