ABSTRACT

In this announcement, we present the draft genome of Bacillus anthracis strain Bundesheer. This strain was isolated from a postal sack in Vienna in 2001. Phylogenetic analysis using canonical single-nucleotide polymorphism (canSNP) showed that it belongs to A.Br.081 and that it is highly similar to the Ames “Ancestor” strain.
