Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Isolate INF13/18/A, Recovered from Kelantan, MalaysiaWe describe here the draft genome sequence and basic characteristics of Escherichia coli isolate INF13/18/A, which was isolated from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Hospital. This isolate was identified as an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli strain harboring the antimicrobial...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Four Streptococcus canis Strains Isolated from Dogs in South KoreaThis study reports the complete genome sequences of four strains of Streptococcus canis isolated from dogs in South Korea. Their genomes ranged from 2.157 to 2.265 Mbp, with a G+C content of 39.6% to 39.7%. The sequence types, antimicrobial resistance genes, and S. canis M-like protein alleles were...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Clostridium estertheticum CEST001, Belonging to a Novel Subspecies of C. estertheticum, Isolated from Chilled Vacuum-Packed Lamb Meat Imported to SwitzerlandWe present the draft genome sequence of Clostridium estertheticum strain CEST001. The genome is 4.8 Mbp long with a GC content of 30.6%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values against four C. estertheticum strains indicate that C. estertheticum CEST001 belongs to a novel subspecies of C. estertheticum.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Mycobacteriophages OKaNui and DroogsArmyMycobacteriophages OKaNui and DroogsArmy were isolated from soil using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155, which belongs to the phylum Actinobacteria. OKaNui was discovered in east Mississippi and DroogsArmy in west Alabama in the United States. The genomes of OKaNui and DroogsArmy were 51,424 bp and 53,254 bp long, respectively....
Genome SequencesGenetic Characterization of a Listeria monocytogenes Serotype IVb Variant 1 Strain Isolated from Vegetal Matrix in ItalyWe report the chromosome and plasmid sequences of a strain of Listeria monocytogenes IVb variant 1, a recently emerging serotype, isolated in Italy from ready-to-eat vegetables.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sulfitobacter Phage ϕGT1, Isolated from a Tidal FlatThe Sulfitobacter bacteria are ubiquitous and important players in organic sulfur cycling in marine environments. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of ϕGT1 infecting Sulfitobacter sp. HGT1, both of which were isolated from coastal sediment. ϕGT1 has a 40,019-bp genome containing 69 predicted protein-encoding genes.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Allochromatium palmeri and Allochromatium humboldtianum Expand the Allochromatium Family Tree of Purple Sulfur Photosynthetic Bacteria within the Gammaproteobacteria and Further Refine the GenusNew genomes of two Allochromatium strains were sequenced. Whole-genome and average nucleotide identity based on BLAST (ANIb) comparisons show that Allochromatium humboldtianum is the nearest relative of Allochromatium vinosum (ANIb, 91.5%), while both...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Pseudomonas koreensis Strain UASWS1668, Bacillus megaterium Strain UASWS1667, and Paenibacillus sp. Strain UASWS1643, Considered Potential Plant Growth-Promoting RhizobacteriaPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) include species in the genera Bacillus, Paenibacillus, and Pseudomonas. We report here the draft genome sequences of the strains Pseudomonas koreensis UASWS1668 and Bacillus megaterium UASWS1667, isolated from a horse chestnut...
Genome SequencesNear-Complete Genome Sequence of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus from ColombiaFeline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is an important pathogen of domestic and wild felids. Although serological tests suggest the presence of FIV in cats from Colombia, no molecular characterization has been reported. Here, we describe the near-complete genome of FIV subtype A from a Colombian domestic cat.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain Belonging to Lineage 1 (Indo-Oceanic) and the East African Indian Spoligotype, Isolated in Jazan, Saudi ArabiaWe describe here the draft genome sequence of AY1MRC, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain belonging to lineage 1 (Indo-Oceanic) and the East African Indian spoligotype, isolated from a patient with tuberculosis in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
