Complete genome sequence of Brucella canis strain HSK A52141, isolated from the blood of an infected dog

J Bacteriol. 2012 Sep;194(18):5134. doi: 10.1128/JB.01125-12.

Abstract

Brucella canis infection can be clinically inapparent in dogs, and when infection goes unnoticed, there is a chance for dog-to-human transmission. A new strain of B. canis was isolated from the blood of an infected dog in order to analyze the pathogenic mechanism, compare genetic properties, and develop new genetic tools for early diagnosis of canine brucellosis. Herein, we report the complete genome sequence of the strain B. canis HSK A52141. This is the second complete genome sequence and biological annotation available for a member of B. canis.
