First Genome Sequence of a Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolate in China, Strain BPC006, Obtained from a Melioidosis Patient in Hainan
9 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is considered to be endemic to Northern Australia and Southeast Asia, with high mortality and relapse rates, regardless of powerful antibiotic therapy. Here we report the first genome sequence of Burkholderia pseudomallei strain BPC006, obtained from a melioidosis patient in Hainan, China. The genome sizes of the 2 chromosomes were determined to be 4,001,777 bp...
