title: Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium bovis BCG Korea, the Korean Vaccine Strain for Substantial Production.
abstract: Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine available against tuberculosis, and the strains used worldwide represent a family of daughter strains with distinct genotypic characteristics. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of M. bovis BCG Korea, the strain that will be actually used in Korea for vaccine production.
