Complete genome sequence of Bacillus anthracis H9401, an isolate from a Korean patient with anthrax

J Bacteriol. 2012 Aug;194(15):4116-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.00159-12.

Abstract

Bacillus anthracis H9401 (NCCP 12889) is an isolate from a Korean patient with gastrointestinal anthrax. The whole genome of H9401 was sequenced. It is a circular chromosome containing 5,480 open reading frames (ORFs) and two plasmids, pXO1 containing 202 ORFs and pXO2 containing 110 ORFs. H9401 shows high pathogenicity and genome sequence similarity to Ames Ancestor.
