Draft Genome Sequence of CO33, a Coffee-Infecting Isolate of Xylella Fastidiosa

The draft genome sequence of Xylella fastidiosa CO33 isolate, retrieved from symptomatic leaves of coffee plant intercepted in northern Italy, is reported. The CO33 genome size is 2,681,926 bp with a GC content of 51.7%. Isolate CO33, cultured from a coffee plant intercepted in northern Italy, represents a novel multilocus sequence typing profile, ST72 (G. Loconsole, personal communication). Isolates genetically related to CO33 were found in several coffee plants imported in October 2014 from Costa Rica through the Netherlands (European Food Safety Authority [EFSA] 2015).
