Enhances C. burnetii genomic resources for endocarditis surveillance; leaves open whether ST77 predicts chronicity.
KZQ2, isolated from clinical patients in Korea, is 2.04 MB long. Multispacer types were ST77, and phylogenetic tree analysis showed that KZQ2 is closely related to the CbuK_Q154 chronic strain isolated from human endocarditis patients in the USA.
