Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequences of Two NDM-1-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated in a Clinical Setting in Albania in 2018Isolation of metallo-β-lactamase-producing, carbapenem-resistant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains is increasingly being documented worldwide; their presence constitutes a public health threat. Here, we report draft genome sequences of two New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1-producing, multidrug-resistant, P....
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence and Annotation of the Paracoccus pantotrophus Type Strain DSM 2944Paracoccus spp. are metabolically versatile alphaproteobacteria able to perform heterotrophic and chemoautotrophic growth. This study describes the whole-genome sequence of the Paracoccus pantotrophus type strain DSM 2944 (ATCC 35512, LMD 82.5, GB17). The genome sequence revealed the presence of a...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Strains with Various Biofilm PhenotypesBiofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa present a serious threat to cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four cystic fibrosis isolates displaying various mucoid and biofilm phenotypes. The estimated average genome size was about 6,255,986 ± 50,202 bp with a mean G+C content of 66.52 ± 0.06%.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Shotgun Sequence of Halomonas sp. Strain SBS 10, Isolated from a Hypersaline Lake in IndiaThe whole-genome shotgun sequence of a moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas sp. strain SBS 10, was assembled and studied. The assembled genome size was 1.5 Mb, with a G+C content of 63.6%. The genome sequence of this Halomonas sp. SBS 10 isolate will be valuable in understanding gene clusters and functions involved in the adaptability of this bacterium to hypersaline conditions.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Eight Pseudomonas aeruginosa Corneal Infection IsolatesPseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of bacterial keratitis, a sight-threatening ocular infection that can occur in contact lens wearers, as well as in others. Here, we report the draft genomes of 8 different P. aeruginosa corneal isolates, adding to the list of publicly available corneal...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Clinical K1-Type Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated in RussiaKlebsiella pneumoniae of capsular type K1 is the most common causative agent of both health care-associated and community-acquired infections. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 10 K1-type K. pneumoniae strains isolated from patients in an infectious disease hospital and neurosurgical...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Phytopathogenic Ganoderma sp. Strain That Causes Basal Stem Rot Disease on Oil Palm in Sabah, MalaysiaBasal stem rot (BSR) disease on Elaeis guineens is known to be caused by members of the pathogenic fungal genus Ganoderma, especially the species Ganoderma boninense. This species affects oil palm plantation in Sabah, Malaysia. The genome sequence (52.28 Mbp) will add to the representation...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Vibrio fortis Strains Isolated from Coral (Fungia sp.) from the Andaman Sea...We report the draft genome sequences of Vibrio fortis strains AN-60 and S7-72, which were isolated from coral (Fungia sp.) from the Andaman Sea. The genome sizes for strains AN-60 and S7-72 are 5.43 and 5.53 Mb, respectively. Both strains harbor genes associated with protocatechuate and azathioprine degradation and the sulfate reduction pathway.
Genome SequencesComplete Coding Sequence of Western Equine Encephalitis Virus Strain Fleming, Isolated from a Human CaseWe sequenced the complete coding genome of the western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) strain Fleming. This strain was originally isolated in 1938 from a human WEEV case.
Databases and SoftwareGenePiper, a Graphical User Interface Tool for Microbiome Sequence Data MiningAmplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is commonly performed for the assessment and comparison of microbiomes. Here, we introduce GenePiper, an open-source R Shiny application that provides an easy-to-use interface, a wide range of analytical methods, and optimized graphical outputs for offline microbiome data analyses.
