Preliminary assessment of genome differences between the reference Nine Mile isolate and two human endocarditis isolates of Coxiella burnetii

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2005 Dec:1063:64-7. doi: 10.1196/annals.1355.007.

Abstract

This study investigates the complete genome sequences of the Nine Mile, K, and G isolates to improve our understanding of the unique virulence properties of C. burnetii and to provide important insight into the genome architecture and genetic diversity of this pathogen.
