Salmonella enterica subsp. houtenae (S. houtenae) is a common subspecies in reptiles and has been implicated as a source of serious and life-threatening diseases in humans. Although occurrence and significance of S. houtenae infections have been extensively studied, the genetic features of S. houtenae have remained unknown due to a lack of available high-quality genome sequences. We obtained the complete genome sequence of S. houtenae 45:g,z51:- strain 20-369 isolated from multiple abdominal abscesses of an African fat-tailed gecko (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus) using Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies and generated the 4.65Mbp complete genome sequence of the S. houtenae str. 20-369. We annotated and analyzed the genome sequence with the aim to gain a deeper understanding of the genome characteristics associated with its pathogenicity. Overall, this study found several interesting genomic features such as pseudogene formation, virulence gene profile, and novel genomic islands. This study provides basis for an understanding possible genetic mechanism underlying pathogenicity of S. houtenae 45:g,z51:- as well as a high-quality genome reference for future comparison studies.

Clostridium limosum can be found in soil and the intestinal tract of animals. In 2014, C. limosum was isolated from a suspected blackleg outbreak in cattle in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. We present a complete genome sequence of a C. limosum strain represented by a circular chromosome and three plasmids.

The complete genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SO3 (sequence type 302), isolated from a fatal meningitis infection in Mexico, was determined using PacBio technology. The chromosome hosts six complete prophages and is predicted to harbor 51 genomic islands, including 13 pathogenicity islands (SPIs). It carries the Salmonella virulence plasmid (pSTV).

Abstract Background The Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae serovar 61:k:1,5,(7) (SASd) has been found to be host-adapted to sheep, with a high prevalence in sheep herds worldwide. Infections are usually sub-clinical, however the serovar has the potential to cause diarrhea, abortions and chronic proliferative rhinitis. Although occurrence and significance of SASd infections in sheep have been extensively studied, the genetic mechanism underlying this unusual host-adaptation have remained unknown, due to a lack of (a) available high-quality genome sequence(s). Results We utilized Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies to generate a de novo assembly of the 4.88-Mbp complete genome sequence of the SASd strain 16-SA00356, isolated from the organs of a deceased sheep in 2016. We annotated and analyzed the genome sequence with the aim to gain a deeper understanding of the genome characteristics associated with its pathogenicity and host adaptation to sheep. Overall, we found a number of interesting genomic features such as several prophage regions, a VirB4/D4 plasmid and novel genomic islands. By comparing the genome of 16-SA00356 to other S. enterica serovars we found that SASd features an increased number of pseudogenes as well as a high level of genomic rearrangements, both known indicators of host-adaptation. Conclusions With this sequence, we provide the first complete and closed genome sequence of a SASd strain. With this study, we provide an important basis for an understanding of the genetic mechanism that underlie pathogenicity and host adaptation of SASd to sheep.

Pseudomonas sp. strain SGAir0191 was isolated from an air sample collected in Singapore, and its genome was sequenced using a combination of long and short reads to generate a high-quality genome assembly. The complete genome is approximately 5.07 Mb with 4,370 protein-coding genes, 19 rRNAs, and 73 tRNAs.

Serratia marcescens ATCC 274 produces the red pigment prodigiosin and the biosurfactant serrawettin W1 at 30°C but not at 37°C. A complete, high-quality genome sequence of S. marcescens ATCC 274 was obtained and found to comprise a single 5,148,533-bp circular genome with 4,799 genes.

The bacteriophage 100268_sal2 was isolated from water buffalo feces in southern Italy, exhibiting lytic activity against several subspecies of Salmonella enterica . This bacteriophage belongs to the Siphoviridae family and has a 125,114-bp double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) genome containing 188 coding sequences (CDSs).
