Complete Genome Sequence of Brucella abortus 2308, Isolated from an Abortion Storm on a Dairy Farm in India

Abstract

The present report communicates the first complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus strain 2308, isolated from an abortion storm on a dairy farm in India. Bacteria were isolated in pure culture from the placentas of aborted calves, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed that the genome sequence length of the isolated strain is 3,285,606 bp, with a GC content of 57.25%, an N 50 value of 296,426 bp, and an L 50 value of 4, containing 3,119 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), 49 tRNAs, 1 transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), and 3 rRNA genes.
