Draft genome sequences of six <i>Brucella melitensis</i> isolates collected from humans and livestock in Tanzania
We present genome assemblies of six <i>Brucella melitensis</i> strains isolated from goats and humans in Tanzania's Kagera region. These sequences provide insight into circulating <i>Brucella</i> strains in Tanzania and East Africa. These data will support future comparative genomics, epidemiological investigations, and regional brucellosis control strategies.
