A hemolytic staphylococcal strain, Staphylococcus sp. strain 170179, was isolated from healthy human skin. Genome sequencing and comparison of strain 170179 to other staphylococci revealed a relatedness to Staphylococcus haemolyticus with an average nucleotide identity of 87.5%, indicating that Staphylococcus sp. 170179 belongs to a separate species.

ABSTRACT In 2003, Streptomyces mexicanus was reported as a novel xylanolytic bacterial species isolated from soil; a partial genome sequence was determined. In 2019, a strain from the same species was isolated from a hand skin swab sample from a healthy French woman. Genome sequencing revealed an 8,011,832-bp sequence with a GC content of 72.5%.

ABSTRACT We report a draft genome sequence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi isolated from a returned traveler from Pakistan who developed sepsis. Whole-genome sequencing revealed relatedness to a previously reported outbreak in Pakistan and identified the blaCTX-M-15 and qnrS resistance genes.

A fast-growing Mycobacterium species was cultured from draining, purulent lesions on the caudal abdomen of a 12-year-old male domestic long-haired cat. Whole-genome sequencing identified the organism as Mycobacterium porcinum.

ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a Clostridium sp. strain isolated from a fecal sample of a 34-year-old adult male in Taiwan. This strain may represent a new bacterium, as suggested by a comparison based on whole-genome sequencing. The genome assembly comprised 6,089,737 bp, with a 45.63% G+C content.

ABSTRACT The draft genome for the type strain Streptomyces phaeoluteigriseus DSM41896 (ISP 5182) is reported. It was classified as a member of the Streptomyces violaceusniger clade; however, a polyphasic study showed it was a separate species based on its distinct spore morphology and 16S rRNA sequence. The genome sequence confirms it as a separate species.

ABSTRACT “Pandoraviridae” is a proposed family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota. Its features include an amphora-shaped capsid and the largest genome among all viruses. We report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new member of this family, named Pandoravirus japonicus, the third strain discovered in Japan.

In 2007, Salirhabdus euzebyi was first described as a bacterial isolate from a sea salt evaporation pond. As no genome sequence was previously available for this species, we performed whole-genome sequencing. The chromosome of strain Q1438 was 3,784,443 bp long with 36% G+C content, 3,830 protein-coding genes, and 74 RNA genes.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we report the data from whole-genome shotgun sequencing of anAcinetobacter ursingiiisolate from healthy human skin of the forearm. The bacterial genome includes 3,473 genes and carries beta-lactamase resistance genes as well as resistance genes for several heavy metals.

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. are widely distributed bacteria in the environment and are found in association with animals and humans. Here, we present the draft genome sequence data of the healthy human skin commensal strains Staphylococcus aureus MFP03, Staphylococcus epidermidis MFP04, Staphylococcus capitis MFP08, and Pseudomonas fluorescens MFP05.

ABSTRACT Bacillus albus is a new species, but it lies on the borderline with Bacillus thuringiensis. In this work, we report a strain previously identified as Bacillus thuringiensis IB84, which now, based on average nucleotide identity and rRNA 16S, gyrB, groEL, and xre gene sequences, must be identified as Bacillus albus.
