Draft Genome Sequences of Two Bacillus anthracis Strains from Etosha National Park, Namibia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacillus anthracis strains K1 and K2 were isolated from two plains zebra anthrax carcasses in Etosha National Park, Namibia. These are draft genomes obtained by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of isolates collected from culture of blood-soaked soil from each carcass.

Novel Giant Siphovirus from Bacillus anthracis Features Unusual Genome Characteristics
Here we present vB_BanS-Tsamsa, a novel temperate phage isolated from Bacillus anthracis, the agent responsible for anthrax infections in wildlife, livestock and humans. Tsamsa phage is a giant siphovirus (order Caudovirales), featuring a long, flexible and non-contractile tail of 440 nm (not including baseplate structure) and an isometric head of 82 nm in diameter. We induced Tsamsa phage in s...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two Bulgarian Bacillus anthracis Strains
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.
متن کاملBlack-backed jackal exposure to rabies virus, canine distemper virus, and Bacillus anthracis in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
Canine distemper virus (CDV) and rabies virus (RABV) occur worldwide in wild carnivore and domestic dog populations and pose threats to wildlife conservation and public health. In Etosha National Park (ENP), Namibia, anthrax is endemic and generates carcasses frequently fed on by an unusually dense population of black-backed jackals (Canis mesomelas). Using serology, phylogenetic analyses (on s...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two South African Bacillus anthracis Strains
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes anthrax, mainly in herbivores through exotoxins and capsule produced on plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2. This paper compares the whole-genome sequences of two B. anthracis strains from an endemic region and a sporadic outbreak in South Africa. Sequencing was done using next-generation sequencing technologies.
