Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Dengue Virus Type 2 Epidemic Strains from Reunion Island and the SeychellesDengue virus has recently reemerged in the southern Indian Ocean islands, causing outbreaks in Reunion Island and the Seychelles. In the present study, we determined the complete genome sequences of closely related clinical isolates of dengue virus type 2 circulating in the Seychelles in 2016 and Reunion Island in 2018.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Red-Heat-Causing Halomonas eurihalina MS1, a Moderately Halophilic Bacterium Isolated from Saline Soil in Alicante, SpainHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Halomonas eurihalina MS1, which was isolated from saline soil in Alicante, Spain, and causes the condition known as “red heat” in salt-packed cured hides, decreasing their commercial value for leather production.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of an Isolate of Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis from NepalExtensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis has become a challenge to the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in several countries, including Nepal. Here, we report for the first time the draft genome sequence of an isolate of XDR-TB collected in Nepal and describe single-nucleotide variations associated with its extensively drug-resistant phenotype.

Genome SequencesComplete Coding Sequence of a Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strain Isolated during the 2016 Outbreak in KazakhstanLumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes an economically important disease in cattle. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of the LSDV isolate Kubash/KAZ/16, detected in a clinical sample from an infected cow from the outbreak reported on 7 July 2016 in Kazakhstan (Atyrau Region).
Genome SequencesGenomic Characterization of Tilapia Lake Virus Isolates Recovered from Moribund Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on a Farm in the United StatesHere, we present the complete coding sequences of two tilapia lake virus (TiLV) isolates recovered during an investigation of a mortality event in farmed Nile tilapia in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis supported the isolates as each other’s closest relatives and members of a clade of Thai TiLV strains.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Clostridium perfringens Strain TAMU, Which Causes Necrotic Enteritis in Broiler ChickensClostridium perfringens causes severe gastrointestinal diseases, which include necrotic enteritis (NE) in chickens, a deadly disease worldwide. We report here the draft genome sequence of Clostridium perfringens strain TAMU, which was used in developing an NE chicken challenge model. This...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Deep-Sea Bacterium Moritella marina MP-1 (ATCC 15381)...Here, the complete assembly of the Moritella marina MP-1 (ATCC 15381) genome, combining Illumina and long Nanopore reads, is presented. The gapless assembly consists of a 4.7-Mb circular chromosome and a 26-kb plasmid, with a G+C content of 40.7%, and will assist in further studies of the molecular pathways in this biotechnologically significant organism.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence and Annotation of Campylobacter jejuni YH003, Isolated from Retail ChickenThe complete genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni YH003, isolated from retail chicken, was determined using PacBio and Illumina technologies. The assembled genome is 1,743,985 bp (G+C content of 30.3%). Genome annotation revealed several genes encoding virulence and antibiotic resistance factors, including a type VI secretion system, cytolethal distending toxins,...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Bordetella bronchiseptica Strain KM22Bordetella bronchiseptica isolate KM22 has been used in experimental infections of swine as a model of clinical B. bronchiseptica infection and to study host-to-host transmission. The draft genome sequence of KM22 was reported in 2014. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of KM22.
