Bacillus anthracis strain:Pollino Genome sequencing. Bacillus anthracis strain:Pollino

Bacillus anthracis strain Pollino was isolated from an anthrax burial-site of a diseased bovine in southern Italy. We report the first complete genome sequence of B. anthracis from active anthrax foci areas in the Basilicata region, which is expected to serve as a reference for epidemiological anthrax studies in Italy
