TL;DR
This paper presents the full genome of a Brucella abortus strain isolated from a human in Tanzania, offering insights into its genomic makeup and potential spread.
Contribution
The study provides the first complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus from a human sample in Africa.
Findings
A complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus was obtained from a human blood culture in Tanzania.
The isolate was cultured from a febrile human patient in northern Tanzania.
Abstract
Brucella abortus causes infections in humans and livestock. Bacterial isolates are challenging to obtain, and very little is known about the genomic epidemiology of this species in Africa. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Brucella abortus isolate cultured from a febrile human in northern Tanzania.
