title: Genome sequence of Brucella melitensis S66, an isolate of sequence type 8, prevalent in China.
abstract: Brucella melitensis is the most-represented Brucella species causing human brucellosis in China. Here we report the complete genome sequence of B. melitensis strain S66, a representative strain of sequence type 8 (ST8), which is prevalent in China, making it possible to compare the genome sequences of isolates from different countries.
