The complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus 68, isolated from an aborted sheep fetus in Luhansk, Ukraine, was assembled using Nanopore sequences. Two circular chromosomes totaling 3,281,317 bp ( N 50 , 2,124,943 bp) comprised the complete genome sequence. The strain encodes the fosfomycin antibiotic resistance gene fosX , highlighting the risk of cross-species livestock and human infection.
