ABSTRACT

Using rapid nanopore whole-genome sequencing, we assembled the genome of Bacillus anthracis strain ter21 (5,229,480 bp), a Tsiankovskii-I group isolate cultured from a fatal case in 2021 of a pony from a zoo in Ternopil, Ukraine, identifying virulence plasmid pXO1 that encodes anthrax toxin, and pXO2.
