Genome SequencesComplete Genomic Sequences of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses Obtained Directly from Human Autopsy SpecimensThe complete genomic sequences of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses were directly obtained from lung, trachea, and colon tissues and an intestinal fecal sample of a patient by using the next-generation sequencing technique. This is the first report on complete H5N1 viral genomes from human autopsy specimens.
Genome SequencesReference Echovirus 7 and 19 Genomes from NigeriaWe describe the genomes of two echovirus isolates from Nigeria as reference enterovirus species B genomes for the region. These echovirus 7 and 19 genomes have 7,411 nucleotides (nt) and 7,426 nt and were recovered from sewage-contaminated water (in 2010) and an acute flaccid paralysis case (in 2014), respectively.
Genome SequencesDraft Whole-Genome Sequences of 10 Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains Isolated in BrazilThe number of diarrhea cases caused by atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) has been increasing worldwide. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequences of 10 aEPEC strains isolated in Brazil.
Genome SequencesEscherichia coli NGF-1, a Genetically Tractable, Efficiently Colonizing Murine Gut IsolateThe genome of the murine commensal strain Escherichia coli NGF-1 contains a 5.03-Mbp chromosome and plasmids of 40.2 kbp and 8.56 kbp. NGF-1 efficiently colonizes the mouse gut and is genetically tractable.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Six Novel Macaca mulatta Papillomavirus Types Isolated from Genital Sites of Rhesus Monkeys in Hong Kong SAR, ChinaThe complete genomes of six Macaca mulatta papillomavirus types isolated from genital sites of rhesus monkeys were characterized, and less than 72% identity with the complete L1 genes of known papillomaviruses was found. Macaca mulatta papillomavirus type 2 (MmPV2), MmPV3, and MmPV6 cluster into the...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium, “Desulfofundulus salinum” 435T, Isolated from a High-Temperature Gas Field in RussiaThe draft genome sequence of the thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium “Desulfofundulus salinum” strain 435T, isolated from condensate water of the Igrim high-temperature gas field (Western Siberia, Russia), is presented here. The genome is annotated to elucidate the taxonomic position of strain 435T.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Enterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, a South African Strain Capable of Synthesizing Gold NanoparticlesEnterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, isolated from acid mine decant from a uranium mine, produces a wide variety of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ranging from large triangular plates to small spherical AuNPs. The complete genome sequence of this isolate incorporates an integrative and conjugative element which may be pivotal to AuNP synthesis.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Actinobacteria from Extreme Environments in ColombiaWe sequenced six actinobacterial genomes isolated from a salt mine and from soil in a high-mountain Páramo ecosystem. The strains belonged to the genera Streptomyces, Nesterenkonia, and Isoptericola and were sequenced due to their...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Novel Serratia sp. Strain with Antifungal ActivityThis report describes the draft genome sequence of Serratia sp. strain S40, isolated from potato; it contains 5,383,735 bp and a G+C content of 55.9% and harbors 4,875 predicted coding sequences across 29 contigs.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of NRRL 5109, an Ex-Type Isolate of Aspergillus neoellipticusWe report here a draft genome sequence of an ex-type strain of Aspergillus neoellipticus, NRRL 5109, which was isolated from pus of a case of chronic emphysema. The final assembly consists of 160 scaffolds totaling 27.55 Mbp (G+C content, 49.96%) and 8,858 predicted genes.
