ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. Here, we present the annotated genome sequence of the Klebsiella jumbo phage Muenster. The Muenster genome sequence (346,937 bp) encodes 6 tRNAs and 561 putative protein-coding genes, including 9 tail fibers, suggesting a genetic mechanism to broaden the host range.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. The genome sequence of siphophage Skenny, which infects K. pneumoniae, is described here. Skenny encodes 78 genes and is closely related to Klebsiella phages KPN N141 and MezzoGao, which are T1-like phages.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae, is a high-priority antibiotic-resistant pathogen that causes nosocomial infections. Here, we describe the isolation and annotation of the K. pneumoniae siphophage Shelby, a T1-like siphophage encoding 78 proteins, of which 34 have a predicted function.

Multidrug-resistant Serratia marcescens strains cause serious nosocomial infections in humans. Here, we present the annotated genome sequence of S. marcescens podophage Pila. Similar to its closest relative, Enterobacteria phage T7, Pila has a 38,678-bp genome, predicted to encode 51 protein-coding genes, and contains 148-bp direct terminal repeats.

ABSTRACT Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative pathogen causing severe and often refractory illnesses such as pneumonia and bacteremia. We present the genome of phage Salva, a novel S. maltophilia phage that is not closely related to any phages currently deposited in GenBank. The genome is 60,789 bp, containing 102 putative protein-coding genes.

The hydrogen-utilizing strain Cupriavidus necator H16 (DSM 428) was sequenced using a combination of PacBio and Illumina sequencing. Annotation of this strain reveals 6,543 protein-coding genes, 263 pseudogenes, 64 tRNA genes, and 15 rRNA genes.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a prevalent nosocomial pathogen with multidrug resistance. Here, we describe the complete genome of S. maltophilia myophage Moby, which shares characteristics with Enterobacteria phage T4 and is closely related to Stenotrophomonas phage IME-SM1. Moby has a 159,365-bp genome with 271 predicted protein-coding genes and 24 predicted tRNAs.

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter indicus (Gammaproteobacteria) is a strict aerobic nonmotile bacterium. The strain SGAir0564 was isolated from air samples collected in Singapore. The complete genome is 3.1 Mb and was assembled using a combination of short and long reads. The genome contains 2,808 protein-coding genes, 80 tRNAs, and 21 rRNA subunits.

Proteus mirabilis is a pathogen that has been linked to nosocomial infections. Studies on phages infecting P. mirabilis may provide therapeutics for infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of this pathogen. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of a P. mirabilis myophage, Mydo, which is distantly related to Escherichia coli phage rv5.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of TK421, a clinical bacteremia isolate containing a hypervirulence plasmid carrying tra-associated conjugation machinery genes. Emergence of conjugative hypervirulence plasmids could portend rapid dissemination of hypervirulence among multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains.
