Whole-Genome Sequencing of Brucella melitensis Isolates from Kuwait for the Identification of Biovars, Variants, and Relationship within a Biovar
Among the 15 studied isolates from Kuwait, biovar 2 is the most prevalent biovar of B. melitensis. Furthermore, isolate-specific genetic variations were identified, which may be useful in epidemiological investigations.
