Abstract

Brucella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that cause a contagious zoonotic disease. Twelve different species are currently identified. This study presents the complete genome sequences of four Brucella strains. These complete genomes were annotated and the contents compared to those of other strains isolated from China.
