Neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) is a common agent of neonatal bacterial meningitis, causing high neonatal mortality and neurologic sequelae in its victims. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of NMEC O18 (also known as NMEC 58), a highly virulent (O18ac:K1, ST416) strain.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli is the most well-studied bacterium and a common colonizer of the lower mammalian gastrointestinal tract. We report here the complete genome sequence of the original Escherichia coli isolate, strain NCTC86, which was described by Theodor Escherich, for whom the genus is named.

Neonatal meningitis E. coli (NMEC) is the second leading cause of sepsis and meningitis in neonates worldwide. Here, we report the genome sequence of NMEC15, belonging to serotype O18:K1, isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of an infant with neonatal bacterial meningitis (NBM) in the Netherlands.

Neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) is the second leading cause of neonatal bacterial meningitis worldwide. We report the genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant NMEC serotype O75:H5:K1 strain mcjchv-1, which resulted in an infant’s death.

ABSTRACT Klebsiella aerogenes is a bacterium that can cause a variety of infections. Phage-based biotechnologies may be useful for controlling antibiotic-resistant strains of this bacterium. The characterization of K. aerogenes phage Solomon is described here. Solomon has a 51,775-bp genome, with structural components closely resembling those of Escherichia coli siphophage T1.

Escherichia phage 590B, which was isolated from community sewage water in Chandigarh, India, exhibited lytic activity against an extensively drug-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolate. The genome of the phage is linear, double-stranded, and 44.39 kb long. Phage 590B is a member of the Siphoviridae family and is closest to phage vB_EcoS_XY2, which was isolated in China.
