Lactococcus garvieae, the causative agent of lactococcosis, has evolved strains that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Here, the 20,034-bp sequence of L. garvieae conjugative plasmid pKL0018 was determined. It contained two ermB genes and one tetS gene and a backbone more than 96% identical to that of pRE25, an Enterococcus faecalis plasmid from dry sausage.
