Abstract

This report describes the genome sequences of two Lactobacillus johnsonii strains (AER105 and AER25) and three Ligilactobacillus salivarius strains (AER35, AER36, and AER04) recovered from broiler chicken gastrointestinal tracts in the southeastern United States. These genome sequences will enhance our understanding of the ecology of lactobacilli in the chicken gut microbiome.
