Abstract
We report the genome sequence of Brucella abortus biovar 3 strain BAU21/S4023, isolated from a dairy cow that suffered an abortion in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The genome sequence length is 3,244,234 bp with a 57.2% GC content, 3,147 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), 51 tRNAs, 1 transfer messenger RNA (tmRNA), and 3 rRNA genes.
Highlights
We report the genome sequence of Brucella abortus biovar 3 strain BAU21/S4023, isolated from a dairy cow that suffered an abortion in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The Brucella strain was isolated from cow number 4023 by the streaking of a uterine discharge sample onto Brucella selective agar (HiMedia, India), which was incubated at 37°C for 7 days in the presence of 5% CO2
Conventional bacteriological methods, classical biotyping, and enhanced AMOS-ERY PCR analysis confirmed the isolate as B. abortus biovar 3 [14, 15]
Summary
We report the genome sequence of Brucella abortus biovar 3 strain BAU21/S4023, isolated from a dairy cow that suffered an abortion in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The genome sequence of B. abortus isolates from Bangladesh is essential because of its potential animal and public health impacts in this region. It allows in-depth analysis of genomic structure and will help us to understand its virulence, pathogenesis, host specificity, biotyping difference, and phylogenetic relationships and help to identify potential targets for the development of vaccines and diagnostics to prevent and control brucellosis.
