title: Draft Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium bovis Strain SP38, a Pathogenic Bacterium Isolated from a Bovine in Brazil.
abstract: We report a draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis strain SP38, isolated from the lungs of a cow in Brazil. The assembly of reads resulted in 36 contigs in a total of approximately 4.37 Mb. Comparison of M. bovis strains sequenced to date will aid in understanding bovine tuberculosis in Brazil.
