Genome SequencesFive Closed Salmonella enterica Genome Sequences from a 2017–2018 Multistrain, Multistate Kratom OutbreakWe report here the closed genomes of Salmonella enterica strains from the 2017–2018 multistrain, multistate kratom outbreak using single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing. Four of the genomes consist of one circular chromosome, and the fifth has a circular chromosome and a single plasmid.

Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Human Norovirus GII.4 Hong Kong[P31] Variant in Hong Kong, ChinaWe report the nearly complete genome of a norovirus GII.4 Hong Kong[P31] variant (GII strain Hu/HK/2019/GII.4 Hong Kong[P31]/CUHK-NS-2200) that was detected in a patient with gastroenteritis in August 2019. The genome was sequenced by metagenomic next-generation sequencing and was found to have 92.8% nucleotide similarity to the closest GII.4 norovirus sequence in GenBank.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Yersinia ruckeri Strain FMV-22, Isolated from Diseased Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in PeruYersinia ruckeri is a significant and frequent bacterial fish pathogen in Peru. We report the draft genome sequence of strain FMV-22, isolated from a diseased rainbow trout, which consists of 3.84 Mb, with a G+C content of 47.45% and 3,765 protein-coding genes.
Genome SequencesAnnotated Genome Sequence of Aspergillus tanneri NIH1004The annotated genome of Aspergillus tanneri, a recently discovered drug-resistant pathogen, was determined by employing the Oxford Nanopore MinION platform and the Funannotate pipeline. The genome size and the number of protein-coding genes are notably larger than those of the most common etiological agent of aspergillosis,...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Mycobacteriophage Faze9Mycobacteriophage Faze9 is a novel lytic phage that was isolated from soil collected in Scranton, PA, using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. Faze9 has a double-stranded DNA genome composed of 67,503 kbp, has a G+C content of 68.9%, encodes 91 predicted proteins, and is closely related to mycobacteriophages in the B2 subcluster.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Five Potentially Probiotic Enterococcus faecium Strains Isolated from an Artisanal Tunisian Meat (Dried Ossban)Here, we report the first draft genome sequences of five bacteriocinogenic and potentially probiotic Enterococcus faecium strains (MZF1 to MZF5), which were isolated from homemade Tunisian meat (dried ossban). The estimated median genome sizes were about 2,582,641 ± 109,039 bp, with a median G+C content of 40% ± 0.4%.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus aetherivorans JCM 14343T, a Bacterium Capable of Degrading Recalcitrant Noncyclic and Cyclic EthersHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus aetherivorans JCM 14343T, which possesses the versatile ability to degrade recalcitrant noncyclic and cyclic ether compounds. The 4.2-Mbp genome of this bacterium contains alkane hydroxylase and propane monooxygenase genes involved in the degradation of noncyclic and cyclic ethers, respectively.

Omics Data SetsMetagenomic Sequences of Three Drinking Water and Two Shower Hose Biofilm Samples Treated with or without Copper-Silver IonizationWe announce five shotgun metagenomics data sets from two Norwegian premise plumbing systems. The samples were shotgun sequenced on two lanes of an Illumina HiSeq 3000 instrument (THRUplex chemistry, 151 bp, paired-end reads), providing an extensive resource for sequence analyses of tap water and biofilm microbial communities.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence Analysis of Enterobacter sp. C6, Found in the Pitcher Fluids of Sarracenia roseaAn unclassified Enterobacter strain was isolated from the pitcher fluids of a Sarracenia rosea pitcher plant growing at Splinter Hill Bog in Alabama. Its genome was sequenced using the Illumina platform. A genome assembly of 4,673,815 bp was obtained. In total, 4,646 protein-encoding sequences and...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis SD96The genome of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis SD96, a strain used for cheese production, is presented. SD96 is refractory to phage attack, which is a desired property for starter bacteria. Its 10 plasmids provide industrially important traits, such as lactose and citrate...
