Complete Genome Sequence of Chlamydia avium PV 4360/2, Isolated from a Feral Pigeon in Italy

Anna Maria Floriano et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

We report here the whole-genome sequence of a Chlamydia avium isolate recovered from a feral pigeon in 1999 in Italy. Only one complete genome of a C. avium strain has been published so far. Future comparative analyses could provide valuable insights on the genomic evolution of the pathogen.
