Genome sequence of the human- and animal-pathogenic strain Nocardia cyriacigeorgica GUH-2

Abstract

The pathogenic strain Nocardia cyriacigeorgica GUH-2 was isolated from a fatal human nocardiosis case, and its genome was sequenced. The complete genomic sequence of this strain contains 6,194,645 bp, an average G+C content of 68.37%, and no plasmids. We also identified several protein-coding genes to which N. cyriacigeorgica's virulence can potentially be attributed. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
