Abstract

Brucella abortus causes infections in humans and livestock. Bacterial isolates are challenging to obtain, and very little is known about the genomic epidemiology of this species in Africa. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Brucella abortus isolate cultured from a febrile human in northern Tanzania.

Item Type:Articles
Additional Information:This work was supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council project African Skills Training for health Research And Learning (ASTRAL): A University of Glasgow One Health training programme for Tanzania (BB/R020280/1). The isolate was obtained through project BB/L018845. The sequencing and bioinformatics work were funded by the UK Department of Health and Social Care through the Fleming Fund SeqAfrica Regional Grant.
