Streptococcus iniae is a significant pathogen in a variety of marine and freshwater cultured fish species. Previous investigations on S. iniae have been limited to a single virulence gene or genome. However, different strains are associated with varying pathogenicity and niche adaptation properties. For comprehensive characterization of the genetic variations in S. iniae, whole-genome sequencing of S. iniae DX09 (isolated from diseased catfish) was performed and comparative genome analysis with eight S. iniae strains conducted to determine the virulence evolution patterns. Comparative analysis of all sequenced S. iniae revealed genome-genome variations, mainly in two plasticity zones, within genes encoding specific functions, such as the Ess/type VII secretion system and phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system, reflecting adaptation to colonisation of specific host habitats. The plasticity zones analyzed in the S. iniae genome may be a paradigm rather than a unique combination of horizontal gene transfer and underlie the emergence of pathogenic Gram-positive
