Genome Sequence of Coxiella burnetii 109, a Doxycycline-Resistant Clinical Isolate
doi: 10.1128/JB.01856-12
J. Bacteriol. December 2012 vol. 194 no. 24 6939
ABSTRACT
Coxiella burnetii 109, with a 2.03-Mb genome, is a doxycycline-resistant human isolate that was isolated from the cardiac valve of a German male patient with Q fever endocarditis who died during the course of the treatment due to the bacterium's resistance to doxycycline.
This new genome can be useful for future comparative genomic or Q fever studies.
