Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae Myophage MenlowKlebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that has become an increasing problem in nosocomial infections. Studying phages that infect K. pneumoniae may lead to improvements in phage therapeutics for treating these infections.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Myophage MooltanSalmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a Gram-negative bacterium and one of the most common foodborne pathogens. Biocontrol using bacteriophage in food products or animals is one possible means by which pathogenic salmonellosis infection could be inhibited.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a “Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris”-Related Strain (Aster Yellows, Subgroup 16SrI-B) from South AfricaHere, we report the draft genome sequence of a phytoplasma discovered in grapevine. The genome size is 600,116 nucleotides (nt), with 597 predicted open reading frames.
Genome SequencesGene Determinants for Mercury Bioremediation as Revealed by Draft Genome Sequence Analysis of Stenotrophomonas sp. Strain MA5A soilborne Stenotrophomonas sp. strain (MA5) that is resistant to mercury was isolated. A draft genome sequence-based analysis revealed a suite of gene determinants to resist mercury and other heavy metals, multidrug efflux, stress response, and membrane transport, and these provide cues to a suite of mechanisms that underpin cellular survival in contaminated soil.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Gallinarum Strains Isolated from Layer Breeder Flocks in an Outbreak of Fowl Typhoid in ColombiaThis report describes the genome sequences of four Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum (Salmonella Gallinarum) strains isolated in Colombia in 2017 from layer breeders of different ages. The layer breeder flocks were presenting with an elevated mortality with lesions...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a blaNDM-1- and blaPME-1-Harboring Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolate from PakistanWe performed Illumina whole-genome sequencing on a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient with chronic airway colonization. The draft genome comprises 6,770,411 bp, including the carbapenemase blaNDM-1 and the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase blaPME-1.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Facklamia hominis Isolate from a Patient with UrosepsisThe genome sequence of a Facklamia hominis strain isolated from the urine of a patient with acute cystitis and sepsis is reported. The genome contains ermB and tet(M) genes, consistent with the isolate’s phenotypic resistance to macrolides and tetracycline.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 64 Type Strains of 50 Species and 25 Subspecies of the Genus Staphylococcus Rosenbach 1884Members of the genus Staphylococcus have been isolated from humans, animals, and the environment. Accurate identification with whole-genome sequencing requires access to data derived from type strains.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Corallopyronin A-Producing Myxobacterium Corallococcus coralloides B035Myxobacteria are a source of unique metabolites, including corallopyronin A (CorA), a promising antibiotic agent in preclinical development for the treatment of filariasis. To investigate the production of CorA on the genetic level, we present the complete 9.6-Mb genome sequence of the CorA producer Corallococcus coralloides B035.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of an Isogenic Haploid Strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae IR-2idA30(MATa), Established from the Industrial Diploid Strain IR-2...We present the draft genome sequence of an isogenic haploid strain, IR-2idA30(MATa), established from Saccharomyces cerevisiae IR-2. Assembly of long reads and previously obtained contigs from the genome of diploid IR-2 resulted in 50 contigs, and the variations and sequencing errors were corrected by short reads.
