Whole Genome Sequencing of Brucella melitensis Isolated from Patients in Hohhot, China

Abstract

Brucellosis is a class B infectious disease that is spreading rapidly in Inner Mongolia, China. Investigating the genetics of this disease might provide insights into the mechanism by which the bacteria adapt to their hosts. Here, we report the genome sequence of Brucella melitensis strain BM6144, which was isolated from a human patient.
