Abstract
Brucella abortus is generally known to cause brucellosis in cattle and buffalo. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Brucella abortus SKN 13, isolated from aborted cattle placenta in the area of Gujarat, India, providing precious resources for comparative genomic analyses of Brucella field strains.
Highlights
Brucella abortus is generally known to cause brucellosis in cattle and buffalo
The genomics DNA of Brucella abortus SKN 13 was isolated and sequenced using Ion Torrent Sequencing Technology with the provided standard protocol assembled with MIRA version 3.9.18 by the de novo assembly method
The genome sequence was annotated with RAST and the NCBI Annotation Pipeline
Summary
Brucella abortus is generally known to cause brucellosis in cattle and buffalo. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Brucella abortus SKN 13, isolated from aborted cattle placenta in the area of Gujarat, India, providing precious resources for comparative genomic analyses of Brucella field strains. Brucellosis is an important re-emerging zoonosis with worldwide distribution. It is still a serious uncontrolled public health problem in many developing countries including India (1). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organization of Animal Health (OIE), brucellosis is considered to be the most widespread zoonosis throughout the world (2).
