Newly sequenced genomes of four Bacillus Calmette Guerin vaccines.

Newly sequenced genomes of four Bacillus Calmette Guerin vaccines. Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz. 2020;115:e190401 Authors: Sisco MC, Silva MG, Lopez B, Arguelles C, Mendonça-Lima L, de Waard JH, Duarte RS, Suffys PN Abstract Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccines comprise a family of related strains. Whole genome sequencing has allowed the better characterisation of the differences between many of the BCG vaccines. As sequencing technologies improve, updating of publicly available sequence data becomes common practice. We hereby announce the draft genome of four commonly used BCG vaccines in Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela. PMID: 32401897 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
