Whole genome sequence of Coxiella burnetii Nine Mile II, clone 4, ∆cbu0533 mutant strain, an alternative for safer laboratory use

Here, we determined the genome sequence of the Coxiella burnetii Nine Mile II (NMII), RSA439, clone 4, ∆cbu0533 mutant strain. This strain was engineered as a potential laboratory replacement for the wild-type C. burnetii NMII, which can undergo lipopolysaccharide elongation in specific growth conditions due to cbu0533 mutation reversion.
