Genome SequencesCharacterization of the Enterobacter Phage vB_EclM_CIP9Enterobacter cloacae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe vB_EclM_CIP9, a novel Enterobacter phage that infects a multidrug-resistant isolate of E. cloacae. Phage vB_EclM_CIP9 is a myovirus that has a 174,924-...
Genome SequencesSequencing and Characterization of Five Extensively Drug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi Isolates Implicated in Human Infections from Punjab, PakistanA large outbreak of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi infections is ongoing in Pakistan, predominantly in Sindh Province. Here, we report the sequencing and characterization of five XDR Salmonella Typhi isolates from the Punjab province of Pakistan that are closely related to the outbreak strain and carry the same IncY...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Heterotrophic Sulfur-Disproportionating Member of the DesulfobacterotaHere, we describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation. As such, this genome expands our understanding of the diversity of sulfur-disproportionating microorganisms.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Verrucosispora sp. Strain CWR15, Isolated from a Gulf of Mexico SpongeHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Verrucosispora sp. strain CWR15, a bacterial symbiont of a Gulf of Mexico sponge. The genome consists of 35 contigs encoding 5,840 genes. The genome is the basis for future study and presents an underexplored taxonomy and biosynthetic potential.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Desulfurobacterium thermolithotrophum Strain HR11, a Novel Thermophilic Autotrophic Subspecies from a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal VentDesulfurobacterium sp. strain HR11 was isolated from a hydrothermal vent on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. We present the 1.55-Mb genome sequence of HR11, which contains 1,624 putative protein-coding sequences. Overall genome relatedness index analyses indicate that HR11 is a novel subspecies of D. thermolithotrophum.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 26 Salmonella Isolates Associated with Multiple Outbreaks in BrazilSalmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates are the leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide. Here, we report the draft genomes of 26 Salmonella isolates of food and clinical origin, belonging to four serovars, associated with outbreaks from 1999 to 2006 in the south of Brazil.
Genome SequencesSalmonella enterica subsp. arizonae Isolated from a Canine Clinical Case of ProstatitisThis is an announcement for the genome sequence of a clinical isolate of Salmonella enterica subsp. arizonae isolated from the urine and prostate of a 6-year-old male Labrador retriever. This is one of the few reports of a Salmonella enterica subsp. arizonae isolate cultured from...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Komagataeibacter saccharivorans Strain JH1, Isolated from Fruit FliesWe present the genome sequence of Komagataeibacter saccharivorans strain JH1, which belongs to the acetic acid bacteria. The draft genome sequence consists of 3.7 Mb and contains 3,437 predicted protein-encoding genes. This organism contains putative genes involved in cellulose and levan biosynthesis.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of Salmonella enterica Serovar Infantis and Kentucky Isolates Obtained from Layer Poultry Farms in EcuadorFive strains of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis and two strains of S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Kentucky isolated in 2017 from Ecuadorian layer poultry farms were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq technology. These isolates were collected on layer farms in...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Haemophilus parainfluenzae Strain Isolated from a Patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseHaemophilus parainfluenzae is considered part of the normal oropharyngeal flora but is known to occasionally cause infections. It is closely related to Haemophilus influenzae. Here, we report the genome sequence of H. parainfluenzae...
