Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections. This report describes the complete genome of the K. pneumoniae myophage Mulock, which appears to be a temperate myophage distantly related to other Klebsiella myophages in morphogenesis genes and is partially syntenic with the canonical Escherichia phage lambda in genes encoding lambda-like functions.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that is the cause of several hospital-acquired infections. Bacteriophages that target this bacterium could be used therapeutically as novel antimicrobial agents. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the T1-like K. pneumoniae phage Sanco.

Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen causing various hospital-acquired infections. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of S. marcescens myophage Moabite. The genome of Moabite is 273,933 bp long, with 337 predicted coding sequences and two tRNA genes, and it shares its highest amino acid identity with Serratia phage 2050HW.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of clinical Pasteurella multocida strain HuN001, which was cultured from a sputum sample from a patient with pneumonia. Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing provided a complete genome sequence of P. multocida HuN001, which contains a 2,287,216-bp circular chromosome with an average G+C content of 40.33%.

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium chimaera, a nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause respiratory and disseminated disease. We report the complete genome sequence of a strain, SJ42, isolated from an immunocompromised male presenting with MAC pneumonia, assembled from Illumina and Oxford Nanopore data.

A Neisseria gonorrhoeae multilocus sequence type (MLST) ST7363 strain was isolated from a patient at the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand, in 2010 and completely sequenced. This strain is susceptible to ceftriaxone and cefixime. A complete circular chromosome and circular plasmids were assembled from combined Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Illumina sequencing.

ABSTRACT The bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that often infects hospitalized patients and those who are immunocompromised. K. aerogenes in some cases can become resistant to antibiotic treatment. Being a potential therapeutic, Metamorpho is a T4-like myophage targeting K. aerogenes.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an opportunistic pathogen that commonly causes foodborne illness. Study of bacteriophages against this pathogen could be useful to develop alternative treatment approaches. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of LL11, a T7-like podophage that infects ETEC.
