Abstract

Objective: The present study reports the first isolation and whole-genome sequencing of a bacterium from a goat.

Animals And Sample: The was isolated from the uterus of a goat following an abortion.

Procedure: The was identified by pure culture phenotype and MALDI-TOF analysis and further characterized by whole-genome sequencing.

Results: This isolate was reliably identified as and showed similar properties to type strain DSM 19515, which was recovered from a sow following an abortion. The assembled genome of this isolate was 2 564 866 bp long with a GC content of 63.9%. A total of 30 virulence-related genes were determined, suggesting the pathogenic potential of this organism.

Conclusion And Clinical Relevance: This study details the first isolation of from goats. The genotypic findings of this isolate will serve as a baseline description for any similar future studies.
