Complete genome sequence of ceftazidime-resistant Burkholderia pseudomallei strain 490f reveals a complex long repeat region

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We report the complete genome of Burkholderia pseudomallei strain 490f, isolated from a ceftazidime treatment failure case in Northeast Thailand. Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing techniques revealed two circular chromosomes. A 150 kb region on the small chromosome showed high coverage and complex repeats, which were manually resolved.
