Draft genome assembly from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis sequence type ST19 strain B-6863 (alias 1384) from Russia. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis B-6863 isolate:1384

Strain B-6863 (alias 1384) was isolated in the Stavropol region in 1961 from Citellus pygmaeus. The strain belongs to sequence type ST19 (as defined in Laukkanen-Ninios R, et al. 2011, Environ. Microbiol. 13:3114-3127). Short read sequences were assembled into 221 contigs larger than 1 kb, for a total of 4270639 bp. The largest contig is 123327 bp long. This project is part of a larger study comprising a total of 5 ST19 strains from Russia (4) or Turkmenistan (1).
