title: Whole-Genome Sequencing ofVibrio choleraeO1 El Tor Strains Isolated in Ukraine (2011) and Russia (2014).
abstract: Here, we present the draft whole-genome sequence ofVibrio choleraeO1 El Tor strains 76 and M3265/80, isolated in Mariupol, Ukraine, and Moscow, Russia. The presence of various mutations detected in virulence-associated mobile elements indicates high genetic similarity of the strains reported here with new highly virulent variants of the cholera agentV. cholerae.
