Taylorella equigenitalis is the causative agent of contagious equine metritis (CEM), a sexually transmitted infection of horses. We report here the genome sequence of T. equigenitalis strain ERC_G2224, isolated in 2015 from a semen sample collected in 1996 from a Lipizzaner stallion in South Africa.

We report herein the use of crude extracts obtained from samples of Taylorella equigenitalis–infected horses for the purpose of multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). Samples ( n = 36) were collected from horses in South Africa from 1996 to 2017: 34 from genital swabs (stored at −20°C for 2–3 y) and 2 from cryopreserved raw semen aliquots (stored at −70°C for 18 y) prior to assay. The MLST assay showed a single sequence type (ST), designated ST4, that supported a point introduction and thus a common source for the South African outbreak of contagious equine metritis.
