Quick screening for <i>Brucella</i> virulence genes with the Bat-VFDB: <i>Brucella</i> addition to the Virulence Factor DataBase
The Bat-VFDB database was developed to enable quick screening for, and identification of, virulence genes in genomes of <i>Brucella</i> species. This database comprises a complete set of known <i>Brucella</i> spp. virulence genes and can be used by the ABRicate tool for screening large sets of genomes at once.
