Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Bacillus sporothermodurans Strains Isolated from Ultra-High-Temperature MilkHere, we report the draft genome sequences of 3 Bacillus sporothermodurans strains isolated from ultra-high-temperature milk products in South Africa and Brazil and the type strain MB 581 (DSM 10599). The genomes will provide valuable information on the molecular dynamics of heat resistance in B.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Aeromonas dhakensis, Isolated from a Patient with Fatal Necrotizing FasciitisAeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas dhakensis are ubiquitous in marine and aquatic environments. Both species, which cause significant skin and soft tissue infection, are often associated with water activities and floods.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Plantaricin-Sensitive Strain Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 700965Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 700965 was isolated from cheese in 1939 and is used as an indicator strain for plantaricin production. The complete genome was determined using both long (PacBio) and short (Illumina) read data resulting in a single, circular chromosome with 3,015,426 bp, a G+C content of 45%, and five plasmids.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Nitrosomonas sp. Strain APG5, a Betaproteobacterial Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacterium Isolated from Beach SandNitrosomonas sp. strain APG5 (=NCIMB 14870 = ATCC TSA-116) was isolated from dry beach sand collected from a supralittoral zone of the northwest coast of the United States. The draft genome sequence revealed that it represents a new species of the cluster 6 Nitrosomonas spp. that is closely related to...
Genome SequencesHigh-Quality Draft Genome Sequences of Rare Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Surfaces of a HospitalNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), some of which had multidrug-resistant profiles, were isolated from a tertiary care hospital setting. Although most NTM are nonpathogenic, contamination of hospital surfaces by these opportunistic pathogens poses a health risk to vulnerable inpatients.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae Podophage PatroonKlebsiella pneumoniae infection is a serious concern in hospital settings due to the continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. The study of K. pneumoniae phages may help the development of new treatment strategies.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida SNW-8.1 and PP3, Two Fish-Isolated Strains Containing a Type III Secretion SystemHere, we report the draft genome sequences of two strains of the fish pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, isolated from Salmo salar (SNW-8.1) and ...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecium QU50, a Thermophilic Lactic Acid Bacterium Capable of Metabolizing XyloseHerein, we report the complete genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium QU50, isolated from Egyptian soil and exhibiting intermediate susceptibility to vancomycin. The genome contains a 2,535,796-bp circular chromosome and two plasmids of 196,595 bp and 17,267 bp.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Classical Swine Fever Virus NIVEDI-165, Subtype 1.1, a Field Virus Strain Isolated from the Southern Part of IndiaThe whole-genome sequence of an Indian field isolate of classical swine fever virus, NIVEDI-165, was found to be subtype 1.1, and it showed 89 to 99% amino acid identity and 84 to 99% nucleotide identity with four and five Indian classical swine fever virus (CSFV) isolates, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a full-genome sequence of CSFV from South India.
