519000.9051Genomic Analysis of Cronobacter condimenti s37: Identification of Resistance and Virulence Genes and Comparison with Other Cronobacter and Closely Related Species. Cronobacter condimenti are environmental commensals that have not been associated with any clinical infections. To date, they are the least understood and described Cronobacter species within the genus. The objective of this study was to use a draft genome sequence (DGS) of the Cronobacter condimenti strain s37 to screen for genes encoding for antibiotic resistance, virulence, response to environmental stress, and biofilm formation. The strain was isolated in Poland from commercial small radish sprouts. This is the second genome of this species available in the GenBank database. The comparative genome analysis (cgMLST) of C. condimenti s37 with other Cronobacter spp. including the pathogenic species C. sakazakii and the plant-associated closely related genera Franconibacter and Siccibacter was also performed. The assembled and annotated genome of the C. condimenti s37 genome was 4,590,991 bp in length, with a total gene number of 4384, and a GC content of 55.7%. The s 37 genome encoded for genes associated with resistance to stressful environmental conditions (metal resistance genes: zinc, copper, osmotic regulation, and desiccation stress), 17 antimicrobial resistance genes encoding resistance to various classes of antibiotics and 50 genes encoding for the virulence factors. The latter were mainly genes associated with adhesion, chemotaxis, hemolysis, and biofilm formation. Cg-MLST analysis (3991 genes) revealed a greater similarity of C. condimenti s37 to S. turicensis, F. pulveris, and C. dublinensis than to other species of the genus Cronobacter. Studies on the diversity, pathogenicity, and virulence of Cronobacter species isolated from different sources are still insufficient and should certainly be continued. Especially the analysis of rare strains such as s37 is very important because it provides new information on the evolution of these bacteria. Comparative cgMLST analysis of s37 with other Cronobacter species, as well as closely related genera Franconibacter and Siccibacter, complements the knowledge on their adaptability to specific environments such as desiccation.202439201307
608810.8999Complete Genome of Achromobacter xylosoxidans, a Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria from the Rhizosphere of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp) Tolerant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus Infection. Achromobacter xylosoxidans is one of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with cowpea rhizosphere across Africa. Although its role in improving soil fertility and inducing systemic resistance in plants against pathogens has been documented, there is limited information on its complete genomic characteristics from cowpea roots. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of A. xylosoxidans strain DDA01 isolated from the topsoil of a field where cowpea plants tolerant to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were grown in Ibadan, Nigeria. The genome of DDA01 was sequenced via Illumina MiSeq and contained 6,930,067 nucleotides with 67.55% G + C content, 73 RNAs, 59 tRNAs, and 6421 protein-coding genes, including those associated with nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, Indole3-acetic acid production, and siderophore activity. Eleven genetic clusters for secondary metabolites, including alcaligin, were identified. The potential of DDA01 as a plant growth-promoting bacteria with genetic capabilities to enhance soil fertility for resilience against CMV infection in cowpea is discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first complete genome of diazotrophic bacteria obtained from cowpea rhizosphere in sub-Saharan Africa, with potential implications for improved soil fertility, plant disease resistance, and food security.202439278894
520920.8977Complete Nucleotide Sequence of pGA45, a 140,698-bp IncFIIY Plasmid Encoding bla IMI-3-Mediated Carbapenem Resistance, from River Sediment. Plasmid pGA45 was isolated from the sediments of Haihe River using Escherichia coli CV601 (gfp-tagged) as recipients and indigenous bacteria from sediment as donors. This plasmid confers reduced susceptibility to imipenem which belongs to carbapenem group. Plasmid pGA45 was fully sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system. The complete sequence of plasmid pGA45 was 140,698 bp in length with an average G + C content of 52.03%. Sequence analysis shows that pGA45 belongs to IncFIIY group and harbors a backbone region which shares high homology and gene synteny to several other IncF plasmids including pNDM1_EC14653, pYDC644, pNDM-Ec1GN574, pRJF866, pKOX_NDM1, and pP10164-NDM. In addition to the backbone region, plasmid pGA45 harbors two notable features including one bla IMI-3-containing region and one type VI secretion system region. The bla IMI-3-containing region is responsible for bacteria carbapenem resistance and the type VI secretion system region is probably involved in bacteria virulence, respectively. Plasmid pGA45 represents the first complete nucleotide sequence of the bla IMI-harboring plasmid from environment sample and the sequencing of this plasmid provided insight into the architecture used for the dissemination of bla IMI carbapenemase genes.201626941718

545140.8975Two novel phages, Klebsiella phage GADU21 and Escherichia phage GADU22, from the urine samples of patients with urinary tract infection. Phages are found in a wide variety of places where bacteria exist including body fluids. The aim of the present study was to isolate phages from the urine samples of patients with urinary tract infection. The 10 urine samples were cultured to isolate bacteria and also used as phage sources against the isolated bacteria. From 10 urine samples with positive cultures, 3 phages were isolated (33%) and two of them were further studied. The Klebsiella phage GADU21 and Escherichia phage GADU22 phages infected Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli, respectively. Among the tested 14 species for host range analysis, the Klebsiella phage GADU21 was able to infect two species which are Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia phage GADU22 was able to infect four species which are Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei and Escherichia coli. Among different isolates of the indicator bacteria for each phage, GADU21 infected half of the tested 20 Klebsiella pneumonia isolates while GADU22 infected 85% of the tested 20 E. coli isolates. The genome sizes and GC ratios were 75,968 bp and 44.4%, and 168,023 bp and 35.3% for GADU21 and GADU22, respectively. GADU21 and GADU22 were both lytic and had no antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. GADU21 was homologue with Klebsiella phage vB_KpP_FBKp27 but only 88% of the genome was covered by this phage. The non-covered parts of the GADU21 genome included genes for tail-fiber-proteins and HNH-endonuclease. GADU22 had 94.8% homology with Escherichia phage vB_Eco_OMNI12 and had genes for immunity proteins. Phylogenetic analysis showed GADU21 and GADU22 were members of Schitoviridae family and Efbeekayvirus genus and Straboviridae family and Tevenvirinae genus, respectively. VIRIDIC analysis classified these phages in new species clusters. Our study demonstrated the possibility to use infected body fluids as phage sources to isolate novel phages. GADU21 is the first reported Klebsiella phage isolated from human body fluid. The absence of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes in their genomes makes the phages a potential therapeutic tool against infections.202438238612

519160.8964Draft genome sequences data of Mammaliicoccus lentus isolated from horse farm soil. Mammallicoccus lentus is a member of the commensal microflora of the Staphylococcaceae family, which colonizes the skin of several species of farm animals, including poultry and dairy animals (Huber et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2009). The study of the members of the Staphylococcaceae family, such as the Mammaliicoccus genus, isolated from various sources is of great importance for agriculture and public health as contributes to the accumulation of knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance gene transmission among bacterial pathogens. This thesis is supported by recent studies showing that some members of the Mammallicoccus genus serve as a reservoir of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes and may also be a source of horizontal gene transfer (Saraiva et al., 2021). Here, we present a draft genome sequence of Mammallicoccus lentus strain PVZ.22 from a horse farm soil sample. The sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform. The genome was assembled using the Geneious software package. The genome contains 2,802,282 bp with a total of 2805 genes, 8 perfect and 12 strict AMR genes and 58 tRNAs genes.202338075610
521170.8963Pediococcus pentosaceus IMI 507025 genome sequencing data. The genome sequence data for the pickled cucumbers isolate, Pediococcus pentosaceus IMI 507025, is reported. The raw reads and analysed genome reads were deposited at NCBI under Bioproject with the accession number PRJNA814992. The number of contigs before and after trimming were 17 and 12 contigs, respectively. The total size of the genome was 1,795,439 bp containing 1,811 total genes, of which 1,751 were coding sequences. IMI 507025 identity was determined via average nucleotide identity (ANI), obtaining an identity value of 99.5994% between IMI 507025 and the type strain P. pentosaceus ATCC 33316, identifying the strain as P. pentosaceus. Screening for the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence genes in the genome of IMI 507025 showed no hits, confirming the safety of the tested strain. Presence of plasmids was not found.202235864877
139380.8955Prevalence, antimicrobial resistance and detection of virulence genes of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from white-lipped peccaries and collared peccaries. Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli are implicated in human and animal infections and require antimicrobial treatment in many situations. Faecal samples of healthy white-lipped peccaries (Pecari tajacu) (n = 30) and collared peccaries (Tayassu pecari ) (n = 60) obtained in three farms located in the Midwest Brazil. The antimicrobial profiles of commensal E. coli from P. tajacu and T. pecari from commercial herds in Brazil were isolated and analyzed and virulence genes were detected. Among 90 healthy animals, no Salmonella spp. were isolated. However, 30 samples (27%) tested positive for E. coli, with 18 isolates from P. tajacu and 12 from T. pecari, representing frequencies of 58.0% and 38.7%, respectively. Additionally, other Enterobacteriaceae family bacteria were detected but not included in this analysis. However, individual samples from 30 animals tested positive for E. coli, of which 16 were isolated from P. tajacu presenting multidrug resistance and six were isolated from T. pecari presenting a similar pattern. The E. coli virulence genes detected were papC (pilus-associated pyelonephritis) in five isolates, tsh (temperature-sensitive hemagglutinin) in one isolate, and eae (enteric attachment and effacement) in one isolate. The serum resistance gene, iss (increased serum survival), was detected in four isolates. An association between these genes and the presence of hemolysin was also observed in one isolate. Thus, T. pecari and P. tajacu are potential reservoirs of pathogenic and multidrug-resistant and E. coli. Faecal E. coli of healthy P. tajacu and T. pecari could act as a possible reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes in environment.202438713279
518990.8954Genomic analysis of halophilic bacterium, Lentibacillus sp. CBA3610, derived from human feces. BACKGROUND: Lentibacillus species are gram variable aerobic bacteria that live primarily in halophilic environments. Previous reports have shown that bacteria belonging to this species are primarily isolated from salty environments or food. We isolated a bacterial strain CBA3610, identified as a novel species of the genus Lentibacillus, from a human fecal sample. In this report, the whole genome sequence of Lentibacillus sp. CBA3610 is presented, and genomic analyses are performed. RESULTS: Complete genome sequence of strain CBA3610 was obtained through PacBio RSII and Illumina HiSeq platforms. The size of genome is 4,035,571 bp and genes estimated to be 4714 coding DNA sequences and 64 tRNA and 17 rRNA were identified. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed that it belongs to the genus Lentibacillus. In addition, there were genes related to antibiotic resistance and virulence, and genes predicted as CRISPR and prophage were also identified. Genes related to osmotic stress were found according to the characteristics of halophilic bacterium. Genomic differences from other Lentibacillus species were also confirmed through comparative genomic analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Strain CBA3610 is predicted to be a novel candidate species of Lentibacillus through phylogenetic analysis and comparative genomic analysis with other species in the same genus. This strain has antibiotic resistance gene and pathogenic genes. In future, the information derived from the results of several genomic analyses of this strain is thought to be helpful in identifying the relationship between halophilic bacteria and human gut microbiota.202134162403
6139100.8951Complete genome and two plasmids sequences of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L55 for probiotic potentials. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L55, a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

We also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the genome, which identified the presence of functional genes, genomic islands, and antibiotic-resistance genes. The genome sequence data presented in this study provide insights into the genetic basis of L. plantarum L55, which could be beneficial for the future development of probiotic applications.202338616876
5192110.8950Genome Sequencing Analysis of a Rare Case of Blood Infection Caused by Flavonifractor plautii. BACKGROUND Flavonifractor plautii belongs to the clostridium family, which can lead to local infections as well as the bloodstream infections. Flavonifractor plautii caused infection is rarely few in the clinic. To understand better Flavonifractor plautii, we investigated the drug sensitivity and perform genome sequencing of Flavonifractor plautii isolated from blood samples in China and explored the drug resistance and pathogenic mechanism of the bacteria. CASE REPORT The Epsilometer test method was used to detect the sensitivity of flavonoid bacteria to antimicrobial agents. PacBio sequencing technology was employed to sequence the whole genome of Flavonifractor plautii, and gene prediction and functional annotation were also analyzed. Flavonifractor plautii displayed sensitivity to most drugs but resistance to fluoroquinolones and tetracycline, potentially mediated by tet (W/N/W). The total genome size of Flavonifractor plautii was 4,573,303 bp, and the GC content was 59.78%. Genome prediction identified 4,506 open reading frames, including 9 ribosomal RNAs and 66 transfer RNAs. It was detected that the main virulence factor-coding genes of the bacteria were the capsule, polar flagella and FbpABC, which may be associated with bacterial movement, adhesion, and biofilm formation. CONCLUSIONS The results of whole-genome sequencing could provide relevant information about the drug resistance mechanism and pathogenic mechanism of bacteria and offer a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.202438881048
810120.8949Draft genome sequencing and functional annotation and characterization of biofilm-producing bacterium Bacillus novalis PD1 isolated from rhizospheric soil. Biofilm forming bacterium Bacillus novalis PD1 was isolated from the rhizospheric soil of a paddy field. B. novalis PD1 is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, slightly curved, round-ended, and spore-forming bacteria. The isolate B. novalis PD1 shares 98.45% similarity with B. novalis KB27B. B. vireti LMG21834 and B. drentensis NBRC 102,427 are the closest phylogenetic neighbours for B. novalis PD1. The draft genome RAST annotation showed a linear chromosome with 4,569,088 bp, encoding 6139 coding sequences, 70 transfer RNA (tRNA), and 11 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The genomic annotation of biofilm forming B. novalis PD1(> 3.6@OD(595nm)) showed the presence of exopolysaccharide-forming genes (ALG, PSL, and PEL) as well as other biofilm-related genes (comER, Spo0A, codY, sinR, TasA, sipW, degS, and degU). Antibiotic inactivation gene clusters (ANT (6)-I, APH (3')-I, CatA15/A16 family), efflux pumps conferring antibiotic resistance genes (BceA, BceB, MdtABC-OMF, MdtABC-TolC, and MexCD-OprJ), and secondary metabolites linked to phenazine, terpene, and beta lactone gene clusters are part of the genome.202134537868
803130.8947Nucleotide sequences and genetic analysis of hydrogen oxidation (hox) genes in Azotobacter vinelandii. Azotobacter vinelandii contains a heterodimeric, membrane-bound [NiFe]hydrogenase capable of catalyzing the reversible oxidation of H2. The beta and alpha subunits of the enzyme are encoded by the structural genes hoxK and hoxG, respectively, which appear to form part of an operon that contains at least one further potential gene (open reading frame 3 [ORF3]). In this study, determination of the nucleotide sequence of a region of 2,344 bp downstream of ORF3 revealed four additional closely spaced or overlapping ORFs. These ORFs, ORF4 through ORF7, potentially encode polypeptides with predicted masses of 22.8, 11.4, 16.3, and 31 kDa, respectively. Mutagenesis of the chromosome of A. vinelandii in the area sequenced was carried out by introduction of antibiotic resistance gene cassettes. Disruption of hoxK and hoxG by a kanamycin resistance gene abolished whole-cell hydrogenase activity coupled to O2 and led to loss of the hydrogenase alpha subunit. Insertional mutagenesis of ORF3 through ORF7 with a promoterless lacZ-Kmr cassette established that the region is transcriptionally active and involved in H2 oxidation. We propose to call ORF3 through ORF7 hoxZ, hoxM, hoxL, hoxO, and hoxQ, respectively. The predicted hox gene products resemble those encoded by genes from hydrogenase-related operons in other bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Alcaligenes eutrophus.19921624446
6134140.8946Complete genome and gene expression analyses of Asaia bogorensis reveal unique responses to culture with mammalian cells as a potential opportunistic human pathogen. Asaia bogorensis, a member of acetic acid bacteria (AAB), is an aerobic bacterium isolated from flowers and fruits, as well as an opportunistic pathogen that causes human peritonitis and bacteraemia. Here, we determined the complete genomic sequence of the As. bogorensis type strain NBRC 16594, and conducted comparative analyses of gene expression under different conditions of co-culture with mammalian cells and standard AAB culture. The genome of As. bogorensis contained 2,758 protein-coding genes within a circular chromosome of 3,198,265 bp. There were two complete operons encoding cytochrome bo3-type ubiquinol terminal oxidases: cyoABCD-1 and cyoABCD-2. The cyoABCD-1 operon was phylogenetically common to AAB genomes, whereas the cyoABCD-2 operon belonged to a lineage distinctive from the cyoABCD-1 operon. Interestingly, cyoABCD-1 was less expressed under co-culture conditions than under the AAB culture conditions, whereas the converse was true for cyoABCD-2. Asaia bogorensis shared pathogenesis-related genes with another pathogenic AAB, Granulibacter bethesdensis, including a gene coding pathogen-specific large bacterial adhesin and additional genes for the inhibition of oxidation and antibiotic resistance. Expression alteration of the respiratory chain and unique hypothetical genes may be key traits that enable the bacterium to survive under the co-culture conditions.201526358298
826150.8946Sequence identity with type VIII and association with IS176 of type IIIc dihydrofolate reductase from Shigella sonnei. An uncommon dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), type IIIc, was coded for by Shigella sonnei that harbors plasmid pBH700 and that was isolated in North Carolina. The trimethoprim resistance gene carried on pBH700 was subcloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding type IIIc DHFR was identical to the gene encoding type VIII DHFR. The type IIIc amino acid sequence was approximately 50% similar to those of DHFRs commonly found in enteric bacteria. Furthermore, this gene was flanked by IS176 (IS26), an insertion sequence usually associated with those of aminoglycoside resistance genes. The gene for type IIIc DHFR was located by hybridization within a 1,993-bp PstI fragment in each of eight conjugative plasmids from geographically diverse strains of S. sonnei. Each plasmid also conferred resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, and sulfamethoxazole and belonged to incompatibility group M. Plasmids carrying this new trimethoprim resistance gene, which is uniquely associated with IS176, have disseminated throughout the United States.19957695291
5202160.8945Complete genome sequence data of multidrug-resistant Stenotrophomonas sp. strain SXG-1. Objectives A multidrug-resistant bacterium, Stenotrophomonas sp. SXG-1, was isolated from the liver of diseased hybrid sturgeon from Guizhou province, China. Methods Whole-genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 2500-PE125 platform with MPS (massively parallel sequencing) Illumina technology. All good quality paired reads were assembled using the SOAPdenovo into a number of scaffolds. PHI (Pathogen Host Interactions), VFDB (Virulence Factors of Pathogenic Bacteria) and ARDB (Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database) were used to analyses pathogenicity and drug resistance. Results Here we reported the complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas sp. SXG-1, which comprised 4534,602bp in 4077 coding sequences (CDS) with a G+C content of 66.42%. The genome contained 4 gene islands, 72 tRNAs and 13 rRNAs. According to the annotation analysis, strain SXG-1 encoded 22 genes related to the multidrug resistance. In addition to 10 genes conferring resistance to antimicrobial drugs of different classes via alternative mechanisms, 12 genes of efflux pumps were presented, 9 of which were reported for the first time in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Conclusion This was the first complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas sp. isolated from the sturgeon. The complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas sp. strain SXG-1 may provide insights into the mechanism of antimicrobial resistance and prevent disease.202032311503
5468170.8940Whole-genome sequence of a putative pathogenic Bacillus sp. strain SD-4 isolated from cattle feed. OBJECTIVES: The present study describes the draft genome sequence of a novel Bacillus sp. strain SD-4 isolated from animal feed. The study aims to get a deeper insight into antimicrobial resistance and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and the association between them. METHODS: The strain SD-4 was preliminarily evaluated for antibacterial activities, motility, biofilm formation, and enterotoxin production using in vitro assays. The genome of strain SD-4 was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform with paired-end reads. The reads were assembled and annotated using SPAdes and PGAP, respectively. The genome was further analysed using several bioinformatics tools, including TYGS, AntiSMASH, RAST, PlasmidFinder, VFDB, VirulenceFinder, CARD, PathogenFinder, MobileElement finder, IslandViewer, and CRISPRFinder. RESULTS: In vitro assays showed that the strain is motile, synthesises biofilm, and produces an enterotoxin and antibacterial metabolites. The genome analysis revealed that the strain SD-4 carries antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), virulence factors, and beneficial secondary metabolite BGCs. Further genome analysis showed interesting genome architectures containing several mobile genetic elements, including two plasmid replicons (repUS22 and rep20), five prophages, and at least four genomic islands (GIs), including one Listeria pathogenicity island LIPI-1. Moreover, the strain SD-4 is identified as a putative human pathogen. CONCLUSION: The genome of strain SD-4 harbours several BGCs coding for biologically active metabolites. It also contains antimicrobial resistance genes and is identified as a potential human pathogen. These results can be used to better comprehend antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria that are not influenced by human intervention.202235413450
8477180.8940Selection of rice breeding lines for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in many countries around the world with different climatic conditions and a huge number of environmental stresses, both biotic (fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects) and abiotic (cold, drought, salinity) limit rice productivity. In this regard, breeders and scientists are trying to create rice lines that are resistant to multiple stresses. The aim of this work was to screen and select cold and blast resistant rice breeding lines (RBLs) using molecular markers. Molecular screening of RBLs and parental varieties to cold tolerance was carried out using markers RM24545, RM1377, RM231 and RM569 associated with QTLs (qPSST-3, qPSST-7, qPSST-9). It was discovered that the presence of three QTLs characterizes the cold resistance of studied genotypes, and the absence of one of them leads to cold sensitivity. As a result, 21 cold-resistant out of the 28 studied RBLs were identified. These cold resistant 21 RBLs were further tested to blast resistance using markers Pi-ta, Pita3, Z56592, 195R-1, NMSMPi9-1, TRS26, Pikh MAS, MSM6, 9871.T7E2b, RM224 and RM1233. It was revealed that 16 RBLs from 21 studied lines contain 5-6 blast resistance genes. In accordance with the blast resistance strategy, the presence of 5 or more genes ensures the formation of stable resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae. Thus, 16 lines resistant to multiple stresses, such as cold and blast disease were developed. It should be noted that 6 of these selected lines are high-yielding, which is very important in rice breeding program. These RBLs can be used in breeding process as starting lines, germplasm exchange as a source of resistant genes for the development of new rice varieties resistant to multiple stress factors.202438747865
5843190.8938Genome sequences of copper resistant and sensitive Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from copper-fed pigs in Denmark. Six strains of Enterococcus faecalis (S1, S12, S17, S18, S19 and S32) were isolated from copper fed pigs in Denmark. These Gram-positive bacteria within the genus Enterococcus are able to survive a variety of physical and chemical challenges by the acquisition of diverse genetic elements. The genome of strains S1, S12, S17, S18, S19 and S32 contained 2,615, 2,769, 2,625, 2,804, 2,853 and 2,935 protein-coding genes, with 41, 42, 27, 42, 32 and 44 genes encoding antibiotic and metal resistance, respectively. Differences between Cu resistant and sensitive E. faecalis strains, and possible co-transfer of Cu and antibiotic resistance determinants were detected through comparative genome analysis.201526203344
