Complete Genome Sequencing of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strain MIC6. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strain:MIC6

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), a disease that affects different groups of animals worldwide, specifically sheep and goat in production areas. Infections by this bacterium are responsible for a significant economic impact, such as decreasing meat yield, damaging wool, and leather, decreasing reproductive efficiency, culling of affected animals and increasing morbidity and mortality rates. The CpMIC6 strain was isolated from an abscess of a sheep in the city of Jordão Sobral, Ceara/Brazil.
