Serotype 1b strain isolated from a patient in Russia. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis IP 31758

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain IP 31758. This strain is serotype 1b and was isolated in 1966 from the stools of a patient presenting with scarlet-like fever in the Primorski region of the former USSR. The strain was sent to the Institut Pasteur by Dr. Timofeeva (Antiplague Institute, Irkoutsk). Two libraries were constructed: a small insert library (4-5 kb) and a large insert library (10-12 kb) from which 11,818 and 49,665 reads were sequenced respectively.
