Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences, Derived by Next-Generation Sequencing, of JC Polyomavirus Strains Isolated from Vietnamese Renal Transplant RecipientsJC polyomavirus (JCPyV) may cause clinical syndromes such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report seven complete genome sequences of JCPyV genotype 7A, generated directly from urine samples from Vietnamese renal transplant recipients by using rolling-circle amplification and next-generation sequencing.
Genome SequencesGenomic Sequence of the Strain Enterococcus faecium ICIS 18We report here the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium strain ICIS 18, which was isolated from human feces. Analysis of the E. faecium ICIS 18 genome revealed genes encoding resistance to metals, fluoroquinolones, and beta-lactam antibiotics.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bacillus sp. Strain HY001, a High Producer of Isoprene, Isolated from NattoWe report the draft genome sequence and annotation of Bacillus sp. strain HY001, a high producer of isoprene, isolated from natto. The total 446 contigs have 5,892,114 base pairs containing 6,429 genes and a G+C content of 35.39%.
Genome SequencesIdentification and Characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype Strain SBH163, Isolated in Sabah, MalaysiaThis is a report on the whole-genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain SBH163, which was isolated from a patient in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah. This report provides insight into the molecular characteristics of an M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype strain related to strains from...
Genome SequencesMetagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences of Five Strains from the Microtus ochrogaster (Prairie Vole) Fecal MicrobiomeThe prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an important model for the study of social monogamy and dual parental care of offspring. Characterization of specific host species-microbe strain interactions is critical for understanding the effects of the microbiota on mood and behavior. The five metagenome-assembled genome sequences reported here represent an important...
Genome SequencesGenomic Sequence of a New Alphavirus Detected in Comber (Serranus cabrilla)The comber alphavirus was isolated from a fish cell line from the brain of an apparently healthy Serranus cabrilla specimen collected during wild fish surveillance in southern Italy. The comber alphavirus is a new member of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sequence Type 3351 Strain Exhibiting High-Level Resistance to Polymyxins in a Pediatric Patient with Cystic Fibrosis in MexicoHere, we present the draft genome sequence of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate (strain CF16053) belonging to a novel sequence type (ST), ST3351, isolated from a pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF16053 shows high-level resistance to polymyxins associated with mutations in the pmrB gene. Biofilm, pyoverdine, exotoxin A, and type III secretion...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 12 Leuconostoc carnosum Strains Isolated from Cooked Ham Packaged in a Modified Atmosphere and from Fresh Sausages...Leuconostoc carnosum is a lactic acid bacterium that preferentially colonizes meat. In this work, we present the draft genome sequences of 12 Leuconostoc carnosum strains isolated from modified-atmosphere-packaged cooked ham and fresh sausages. Three strains harbor bacteriocin genes.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris Isolated in JapanHere, we report the complete genome sequences of two strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (MAFF106712 and MAFF302021), which cause black rot in crucifer crops, isolated from Chinese cabbage and cauliflower, respectively, in Japan. The MAFF106712 chromosome was 5,002,720 bp, with a G+C content of 65.2%, and harbored one plasmid of 78,747 bp. The MAFF302021...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Serratia marcescens Strain Isolated from the Pitcher Fluids of a Sarracenia Pitcher PlantThe genome of a Serratia marcescens strain (C7) that was found in the pitcher fluids of a Sarracenia rosea pitcher plant was sequenced using the Illumina platform. A 5,543,750-bp genome assembly was obtained. A total of 6,278 coding sequences are predicted from this assembly.
