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.

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.

ABSTRACTPlesiomonas shigelloidesis a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from diverse environments. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of the multidrug-resistantP. shigelloidesstrain MS-17-188, isolated from a diseased catfish. Availability of this genome will be beneficial for characterizing the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in this strain.

Klebsiella pneumoniaeis a Gram-negative pathogen frequently associated with antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. Bacteriophage therapy againstK. pneumoniaemay be possible to combat these infections. The following describes the complete genome sequence and key features of the pseudo-T-evenK. pneumoniaecarbapenemase (KPC)-producingK. pneumoniaemyophage Miro.

ABSTRACT Rhizobium japonicum is a Gram-negative bacterium of interest for research into nitrogen fixation in legumes. This article describes the isolation, sequencing, and annotation of R. japonicum podophage Pasto. While it shows no significant similarity to identified phages, genomic analysis indicates that Pasto may be temperate and is a novel T7-like podophage.

Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium often found in animal intestinal tracts. Here, we present the genome of the Guernseyvirinae-like E. coli 4s siphophage Snoke. The 44.4-kb genome contains 81 protein-coding genes, for which 33 functions were predicted. The capsid morphogenesis gene in Snoke contains a large intein.

ABSTRACT Burkholderia gladioli is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with cystic fibrosis infections. Here, we describe the genome sequence of B. gladioli phage Maja. Maja is most related to another Burkholderia phage, BcepF1, and may be a temperate phage, despite the absence of repressor or integrase homologs in its genome sequence.
