Al Malki et al (2021): Draft Genome Sequences of Seven Vibrio cholerae Isolates from Adult Patients in Qatar

I have been reading the paper by Al Malki et al (2021): "Draft Genome Sequences of Seven Vibrio cholerae Isolates from Adult Patients in Qatar".

In this paper, the authors sequenced 7 Vibrio cholerae genomes from patients in Qatar. Of these 7 isolates, 6 were isolates from stool and one from blood. Four of the isolates had MLST sequence type ST69, so were likely to belong to the current pandemic lineage (7PET lineage). The other three isolates, including that isolated from blood, had other sequence types, so likely belong to other (non-pandemic) lineages of V. cholerae.
