Abstract Background: Dickeya and Pectobacterium are pectinolytic pathogens that cause damage to many plants including major crops. Emergence of D. solani and re-emergence D. dianthicola were recently observed in potato fields in several continents. The purpose of this work was to describe the species diversity of Dickeya and Pectobacterium collected from potato fields in Northern Morocco, where Dickeya potato pathogens have not been isolated until recently. Results: Along three years, 119 pathogens belonging to Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera were isolated from three potato culture areas and characterized using selective PCR and gapA gene sequencing. Out of them, 19% belonged to P. versatile, 3% to P. carotovorum, 5% to P. polaris, 56% to P. brasiliense, while 17% to D. dianthicola. The taxonomic assignations were confirmed by draft genome analyses of representative isolates belonging to the collected species. D. dianthicola were isolated from a unique area where a wide species diversity of pectinolytic pathogens was also observed. In potato maceration assay, D. dianthicola isolates were more aggressive than Pectobacterium isolates, a feature that should alert stakeholders of a potential threat linked to the emergence of D. dianthicola in this country. By combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Illumina technologies, the sequence of the complete genome of D. dianthicola LAR.16.03.LID was obtained. A unique circular chromosome of 4,976,211 bp codes for 4,223 predicted proteins. Comparison of the three complete genomes of D. dianthicola strains RNS049, ME23 and LAR.16.03.LID revealed a highly conserved synteny and the occurrence of strain-specific regions associated with the presence of mobile elements. Conclusion: By combining population sampling and genomics, this study highlighted the ecological context from which D. dianthicola emerged in Morocco. Furthermore, the first complete genome of a D. dianthicola strain isolated in Northern Morocco will constitute a reference genome for investigating the dynamics of the emerging D. dianthicola pathogens in this country.

Dickeya and Pectobacterium pathogens are causative agents of several diseases that affect many crops worldwide. This work investigated the species diversity of these pathogens in Morocco, where Dickeya pathogens have only been isolated from potato fields recently. To this end, samplings were conducted in three major potato growing areas over a three-year period (2015–2017). Pathogens were characterized by sequence determination of both the gapA gene marker and genomes using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies. We isolated 119 pathogens belonging to P. versatile (19%), P. carotovorum (3%), P. polaris (5%), P. brasiliense (56%) and D. dianthicola (17%). Their taxonomic assignation was confirmed by draft genome analyses of 10 representative strains of the collected species. D. dianthicola were isolated from a unique area where a wide species diversity of pectinolytic pathogens was observed. In tuber rotting assays, D. dianthicola isolates were more aggressive than Pectobacterium isolates. The complete genome sequence of D. dianthicola LAR.16.03.LID was obtained and compared with other D. dianthicola genomes from public databases. Overall, this study highlighted the ecological context from which some Dickeya and Pectobacterium species emerged in Morocco, and reported the first complete genome of a D. dianthicola strain isolated in Morocco that will be suitable for further epidemiological studies.

ABSTRACT Pectobacterium punjabense is a newly described species causing blackleg disease in potato plants. Therefore, by the combination of long (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, MinION) and short (Illumina MiSeq) reads, we sequenced the complete genome of P. punjabense SS95T, which contains a circular chromosome of 4.793 Mb with a GC content of 50.7%.

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%.

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.
