ABSTRACT Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a deadly bacterium that affects humans. Strain D106004 was isolated from a new plague focus in Yulong County, China, in 2006. To gain insights into the epidemic origin, we have sequenced the genomes of D106004 and strains Z176003 and D182038, isolated from neighboring regions.

Aim. Develop a method of differentiation of Y.pestis strains of different subspecies based on PCR with hybridization-fluorescent detection in real-time. Materials and methods. DNA target search for differentiation of subspecies of plague causative agent was carried out by Mauve 2.3.1, Mega 5.0 and BLAST algorithm based on comparison offull-genome sequences of Y.pestis strains. Primers and TaqMan probes were calculated for the DNA targets found, conditions of PCR with hybridization-fluorescent detection - optimized. Results. DNA targets carrying marker mutations for the caucasus, altai, gissar, ulegei subspecies, strains from Talass alpine plague reservoir were detected. The effectiveness of the DNA targets found and the developed approach of subspecies differentiation is confirmed on 101 Y.pestis strains of different subspecies, isolated from natural foci of Russia, near and far abroad. Conclusion. The developed approach based on PCR with real-time detection allows for a rapid and effective differentiation of Y.pestis strains of various subspecies.

We present the complete genome sequences of four phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood disease in honeybees. The phages were isolated from beehives and beeswax products from Las Vegas, Nevada.

We present here the complete genome sequences of nine phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae , the causative agent of American foulbrood disease in honeybees. The phages were isolated from soil, propolis, and infected bees from three U.S. states. This is the largest number of P. larvae phage genomes sequenced in a single publication to date.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the lead causative agent for seafood-borne human gastroenteritis. While its occurrence has traditionally been uncommon in Europe and the United Kingdom, rising sea surface temperatures have resulted in an increased prevalence. Here, we present the complete genome sequences of four novel V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated in the United Kingdom.

Yersinia pestis , the causative agent of plague, is endemic to the Caucasus region but few reference strain genome sequences from that region are available. Here, we present the improved draft or finished assembled genomes from 11 strains isolated in the nation of Georgia and surrounding countries.

We present here the complete genomes of 18 phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees. The phages were isolated between 2014 and 2016 as part of an undergraduate phage discovery course at Brigham Young University.

ABSTRACT We present here the complete genomes of eight phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees. Phage PBL1c was originally isolated in 1984 from a P. larvae lysogen, while the remaining phages were isolated in 2014 from bee debris, honeycomb, and lysogens from three states in the USA.

ABSTRACT Avibacterium paragallinarum, the causative agent of infectious coryza, causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry due to increased culling rates in growing chickens and decreased egg production in layers. We present the complete genome sequences of seven strains of Avibacterium paragallinarum isolated from poultry farms in Pennsylvania during 2019.

Canis familiaris oral papillomavirus, formerly canine oral papillomavirus, is a causative agent of the self-resolving canine oral papillomatosis and was first described in 1994. This is the first report of two full-length genome sequences described in South Africa and indicates the highly conserved nature of Canis familiaris oral papillomavirus.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a pathogen of veterinary importance, as it is the major causative agent of superficial pyoderma in dogs. We present the complete genome sequences of six strains of S. pseudintermedius derived from dogs affected with epidermal collarettes and superficial bacterial folliculitis, which are two variants of superficial pyoderma.
