Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Derivatives of a Bacillus anthracis ΔANR Strain Lacking pXO1 and pXO2 Plasmids

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Mutants of an attenuated Bacillus anthracis (ΔANR) strain conferring increasing levels of ciproﬂoxacin resistance have been described. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the parent strain (ΔANR pXO1 − , pXO2 − ) and its derivatives conferring low (step 1; 0.5 μg/ml), medium (step 2; 8 to 16 μg/ml), and high (step 3; 32 to 64 μg/ml) levels of ciprofloxacin resistance.
