Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Brucella canis is a zoonotic pathogen that infects both dogs and humans, yet its evolutionary and phylogenetic characteristics are poorly understood. Methods: Here, we comprehensively characterized an isolated strain of B. canis through integrated bacteriological, comparative genomic, and whole-genome sequencing-based core genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (WGS-cgSNP) analyses. Results: B. canis...
