Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium bovis BCG SL222 Sofia, the First WHO Reference Reagent for the M. bovis BCG Vaccine of the Russian BCG-I Substrain

BCG SL222 Sofia is a substrain descending from the Russian BCG-I vaccine strain. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of BCG SL222 Sofia, which will facilitate identity assurance and will contribute to more consistent manufacturing, standardization, and differentiation of substrains used in...

Description
Summary:	BCG SL222 Sofia is a substrain descending from the Russian BCG-I vaccine strain. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of BCG SL222 Sofia, which will facilitate identity assurance and will contribute to more consistent manufacturing, standardization, and differentiation of substrains used in vaccine production.
