Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of bacterial keratitis, a sight-threatening ocular infection that can occur in contact lens wearers, as well as in others. Here, we report the draft genomes of 8 different P. aeruginosa corneal isolates, adding to the list of publicly available corneal infection-associated P. aeruginosa genomes.

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common model bacterial species, and genomes of hundreds of strains of this species have been sequenced to date. However, currently there is only one available genome of an oceanic isolate. Here, we report two complete and six draft genome sequences of P. aeruginosa isolates from the open ocean.

Biofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa present a serious threat to cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four cystic fibrosis isolates displaying various mucoid and biofilm phenotypes. The estimated average genome size was about 6,255,986 ± 50,202 bp with a mean G+C content of 66.52 ± 0.06%.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that has the ability to survive in and readily adapt to a variety of environmental conditions. Here, we report 2 genome sequences of P. aeruginosa strains, UMB1046 and UMB5686, isolated from the female urogenital tract.

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious threat worldwide causing health care-acquired infections and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This report describes the draft genome sequences of five multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from human infections.

ABSTRACT The morbidity and mortality associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections are significant. New strategies are required to treat such infections. We report here the draft genome sequences of two antibiotic-sensitive P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection isolates that were associated with rapid death in nonneutropenic patients.

ABSTRACT Patients suffering chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are frequently infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nevertheless, the number of sequenced isolates causing this type of infection is low. Here, we present the draft genomes of four P. aeruginosa isolates obtained from patients presenting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Many Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa , are opportunistic human pathogens. However, Pseudomonas species are also known to produce bioactive compounds. Here, we report on the genome sequences of a Pseudomonas isolate and a Staphylococcus species of unknown origin that it inhibits.

Isolation of metallo-β-lactamase-producing, carbapenem-resistant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains is increasingly being documented worldwide; their presence constitutes a public health threat. Here, we report draft genome sequences of two New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1-producing, multidrug-resistant, P. aeruginosa strains of sequence type 235 that were isolated from the surgical wound of two patients hospitalized in the same ward.

Draft genome sequences of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains collected from clinical infections were used to determine the prevalence of newly emerging antibiotic resistance genes in Maine. Comparisons between cefepime-resistant and -susceptible E. coli strains and imipenem-resistant and -susceptible P. aeruginosa strains are being conducted.
