Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequences of two valuable strains to investigate plague pathogenesis: (i) Yersinia pestis strain 6/69, which was isolated from a bubonic plague patient in Madagascar and contains pCD1, pMT1, and pPCP1 virulence plasmids, and (ii) the 6/69 strain cured of pPCP1.
