Complete Genome Assembly of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, a Serotype O6 Reference Strain

ABSTRACT We present the complete genome assembly of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 as submitted to NCBI under accession no. CP009072. This strain was originally isolated from a clinical sample in Seattle, Washington (1946), and is often used in quality control testing. The assembled genome is 5.20 Mb (50.4% G+C content) and includes two plasmids.

Draft Genome Assembly of Klebsiella pneumoniae Type Strain ATCC 13883

ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in immunocompromised individuals. Here, we present the 5.54-Mb scaffolded assembly of the type strain K. pneumoniae type strain ATCC 13883, as deposited in GenBank under accession no. JOOW00000000.

Whole-Genome Assemblies of 56 Burkholderia Species

ABSTRACT Burkholderia is a genus of betaproteobacteria that includes three notable human pathogens: B. cepacia, B. pseudomallei, and B. mallei. While B. pseudomallei and B. mallei are considered potential biowarfare agents, B. cepacia infections are largely limited to cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we present 56 Burkholderia genomes from 8 distinct species.

Complete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Type Strain 810-2 (ATCC 13637).

ABSTRACT An emerging nosocomial pathogen, Stenotrophomonas maltophila has a high mortality rate in those it infects. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 810-2 (ATCC 13637), the type strain of the species. The 5-Mb (66.1% G+C content) genome has been deposited in NCBI under accession number CP008838.

Complete Genome Sequence of Type Strain Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida ATCC 43137.

ABSTRACT Soft-tissue infection by Pasteurella multocida in humans is usually associated with a dog- or cat-related injury, and these infections can become aggressive. We sequenced the type strain P. multocida subsp. multocida ATCC 43137 into a single closed chromosome consisting of 2,271,840 bp (40.4% G+C content), which is currently available in the NCBI GenBank under the accession number CP008918.

Complete Genome Assembly of Staphylococcus epidermidis AmMS 205.

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus epidermidis causes a large number of catheter-related sepsis infections annually in the United States. We present the 2.54-Mbp complete genome assembly of reference strain S. epidermidis AmMS 205, including a single 37.7-kbp plasmid. The annotated assembly is available in GenBank under accession numbers CP009046 and CP009047.

Whole-Genome Sequences of Nine Francisella Isolates

ABSTRACT Primarily a zoonotic disease, Francisella tularensis is a fastidious intracellular pathogen and is listed as a CDC category A pathogen with notably high pathogenicity. Here we present the scaffolded genome assemblies of nine Francisella strains: eight F. tularensis and one F. philomiragia.

Complete Genome Assembly of Reference Strain Ochrobactrum anthropi ATCC 49687

ABSTRACT Ochrobactrum anthropi is an occasional cause of nosocomial infections; however, interest in the organism lies in its phylogenetic proximity to the genus Brucella. Here, we present the 4.9-Mb finished genome of Ochrobactrum anthropi ATCC 49687, most commonly used as an exclusionary reference organism.

Whole-Genome Yersinia sp. Assemblies from 10 Diverse Strains

ABSTRACT Yersinia spp. are animal pathogens, some of which cause human disease. We sequenced 10 Yersinia isolates (from six species: Yersinia enterocolitica, Y. fredericksenii, Y. kristensenii, Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. ruckeri) to high-quality draft or complete status. The genomes range in size from 3.77 to 4.94 Mbp.

Draft Genome Assembly of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quality Control Reference Strain Boston 41501

ABSTRACT We present the scaffolded genome assembly of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Boston 41501, now publicly available in GenBank (JOVK00000000) in 10 contigs placed into a single scaffold. The 6.82-Mbp genome contains 66.1% G+C content and 6,295 coding sequences, including type 4 pilus and type 3 secretion system production genes.
