Draft genome sequences of two outbreak isolates of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus from a Pennsylvania swine herd affected with high mortality and morbidity are reported here. The genome analysis revealed that the isolates are closely related to a virulent strain originally identified in China.
