Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Metallo-Beta-Lactamase-Producing Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates, Including Two Colistin-Resistant Strains, from Cairo, EgyptThe emergence and spread of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are a serious public health threat. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four K. pneumoniae strains isolated from Cairo, Egypt, including two panresistant colistin-resistant strains.

Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Bacillus spp. and an Oceanobacillus sp. Strain Isolated from Marine MacroalgaeWe present the draft genome sequences of Bacillus flexus strain DMTMMB08, Bacillus licheniformis strain DMTMMB10, and Oceanobacillus picturae strain DMTMMB24, isolated from marine macroalgae.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium UEL170 (Sequence Type 412), Isolated from a Patient with Urinary Tract Infection in a Tertiary Hospital in Southern BrazilEnterococcus faecium is a leading cause of health care-associated infections, with specific lineages circulating in hospital settings worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant and biofilm-producing E. faecium UEL170, sequence type 412 (ST412), isolated from an...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Bacteriocin-Producing Streptococcus thermophilus Strains ST106 and ST109Streptococcus thermophilus strains ST106 and ST109 produce broad-spectrum bacteriocins encoded within a bacteriocin-like peptide (blp) gene cluster. This study reports the complete genome sequences for both strains, with the ST109 chromosome containing 1,788,866 nucleotides (nt) and 1,572 predicted genes, and ST106 having 1,856,083 nt and 1,601 predicted...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of Two Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from IndiaThe emergence of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) presents a considerable challenge and a public health concern due to the high mortality rate of this disease. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of XDR-TB isolates is thus essential for understanding the mechanism of drug resistance.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Bibersteinia trehalosi Strain OADDL-BT1The genome of a multidrug-resistant strain of Bibersteinia trehalosi isolated from a calf with chronic pneumonia is presented. The draft genome sequences have been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Shotgun Sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae Sequence Type 176 Strain 3966RFQB from a Dairy Herd in Selangor, MalaysiaStreptococcus agalactiae, commonly known as group B streptococcus (GBS), is among the most implicated pathogens in bovine mastitis worldwide. Proper control measures can curb both economic and public health effects it may cause.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Penicillium spp. from Deeply Buried Oligotrophic Marine SedimentsHere, we report genome sequences of two Penicillium isolates from below the seafloor of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre. These genomes are the first reported for fungi from deeply buried marine sediment.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Assembly of the False Spider Mite Brevipalpus yothersiThe false spider mite Brevipalpus yothersi infests a broad host plant range and has become one of the most economically important species within the genus Brevipalpus. This phytophagous mite inflicts damage by both feeding on plants and transmitting plant viruses.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis Phages Chewbacca, Reptar3000, and Riparian, Isolated in Las Vegas, NevadaHere, we present the complete genome sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis phages Chewbacca, Reptar3000, and Riparian, isolated from soil in Las Vegas, NV. The phages were isolated and annotated by undergraduate students enrolled in the Phage Discovery course offered by the School of Life Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
