Proteus mirabilis as a nosocomial pathogen is often the cause of urinary tract infections. This announcement describes the complete genome sequence of a P. mirabilis myophage named Myduc. Phage Myduc is related to Enterobacteria phage phiEcoM-GJ1, which belongs to a group of myophages with small genome sizes (52,000 to 56,000 bp) possessing a T7-like RNA polymerase.

ABSTRACT Bacteriophage St11Ph5 was isolated from a sewage sample on a particularly phage-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) up11 host strain. It appeared to be closely related to bacteriophage G7C, isolated from horse feces; however, it carries a highly divergent host recognition module.

We report here the complete genome sequence, including five plasmid sequences, of Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) strain JJ1887. The strain was isolated in 2007 in the United States from a patient with recurrent cystitis, whose caregiver sister died from urosepsis caused by a nearly identical strain.

ABSTRACT Providencia rettgeri is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen of clinical significance due to its association with urinary tract infections and multidrug resistance. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of P. rettgeri. The genome of strain RB151 consists of a 4.8-Mbp chromosome and a 108-kbp bla NDM-1-positive plasmid.

Escherichia coli P50 is a canine uropathogenic isolate sampled in the Wellington region of New Zealand. We report the draft genome sequence of this isolate, which contains characteristic virulence genes for urinary tract infections and is predicted to be capable of causing human infections.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli can be a harmless commensal organism or cause a range of diseases in humans, including diarrhea, urinary tract infections, meningitis, sepsis, and skin and soft tissue infections. Here, we describe the genome of an isolate that was associated with necrotizing fasciitis and the decompensation of previously undiagnosed cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is the most frequent antimicrobial-resistant lineage of E. coli, propagating extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) worldwide. Recently, an alarming rate of increase in isolates of the sublineage C1/H30R-bla CTX-M-27 of ST131 in geographically distant countries was reported. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the ST131 sublineage C1/H30R E. coli isolate harboring bla CTX-M-27 from Germany.

We report the complete genome sequence of a colistin-resistant strain of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, isolated in January 2013 at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The isolate (named SA186) was sequence type 131 (ST131) and belonged to serotype O25b-H4 and clade B (fimH22).

Citrobacter freundiiis a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is associated with urinary tract infections. Bacteriophages infectingC. freundiican be used as an effective treatment to fight these infections. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of theC. freundiiFelix O1-like myophage Mordin and describe its features.

Although numerous Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains have been sequenced, genomic information on Stx-converting phages, highly related to the primary virulence factors of STEC, is scarce. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Stx-converting phage induced from an outbreak STEC O145 strain.
