Draft genomic sequences of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> strains linked to the cholera outbreak in Kamituga, South Kivu, DRC
<i>Vibrio cholerae</i> is responsible for outbreaks in Africa, but the cause of the outbreaks remains poorly understood. Here, we report the draft genomes of four <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> strains isolated from individuals affected by an outbreak in Kamituga, South Kivu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, between January and May 2024.
