Complete Genome Sequence of Brucella canis BCB018, a Strain Isolated from a Human Patient.

Brucella canis is considered a rare cause of human brucellosis because of difficulties in presumptive diagnosis and underestimation of the incidence. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a Brucella canis isolate, BCBO 18, isolated from a human patient, providing precious resources for comparative genomics analysis of Brucella field strains.
