Draft Genome Sequences of Two Bulgarian Bacillus anthracis Strains

Genome Announc. 2013 Apr 18;1(2):e0015213. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00152-13.

Abstract

Bacillus anthracis strains previously isolated from Bulgaria form a unique subcluster within the A1.a cluster that is typical for isolates from southeastern Europe. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Bulgarian B. anthracis strains belonging to the A branch (A.Br.)008/009 canonical single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) group of the major A branch.
