High-Quality Draft Genome Sequences for Four Drug-Resistant or Outbreak-Associated Shigella sonnei Strains Generated with PacBio Sequencing and Whole-Genome Maps.

ABSTRACT: Drug-resistant Shigella sonnei poses a clinical and public health challenge. We report here the high-quality draft whole-genome sequences of four outbreak-associated S. sonnei isolates; three were resistant to two or more antibiotics, and one was resistant to streptomycin only.

Draft Genome Sequences of 72 Isolates from All Four Species of Shigella.

Project description:Shigella is a genus of Gram-negative enteric pathogenic bacteria which has four species, Shigella dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei. Shigella species are clinically important bacteria because they cause shigellosis or dysentery. Here we report the genome sequences of 72 Shigella isolates from these four species.

Draft Genome Sequences of Antimicrobial-Resistant Shigella Clinical Isolates from Pakistan.

Project description:Shigella spp. are the most common cause of dysentery in developing countries and the second leading cause of diarrheal deaths worldwide. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Shigella spp. are a serious threat to global health. Herein, we report draft genome sequences for three MDR Shigella isolates from Pakistan, two Shigella flexneri isolates and one Shigella sonnei isolate.

Genome sequence of Shigella sonnei 4303.

Project description:BackgroundShigella spp. are Gram-negative intracellular pathogenic bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and can cause bacterial dysentery, a severe diarrheal disease. The pathophysiological impact of the Gram-negative bacteria is highly related to the composition and structural variability of lipopolysaccharides, the major lipoid components of the outer membrane. Out of the 114 genes involved in the lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis pathway, 47 genes are specific to Shigella spp. Changes in the specific genes can lead to loss of the O polysaccharide side chain, resulting in rough (R) type bacteria with increased sensitivity to temperature, or hydrophobic antibiotics. The formation of various different lipopolysaccharides or lipooligosaccharides has been observed previously in a mutant line showing altered biological properties, but the genetic background has not been investigated in detail.ResultsThe parental strain of the mutant line, Shigella sonnei 4303, was subjected to whole genome sequencing to gain a better insight into the structure and biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharides. The sequencing revealed a 4,546,505 bp long genome including chromosomal and plasmid DNA, and the lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes were also identified. A comparison of the genome was performed with the phylogenetically closely related, wild type, well characterized, highly virulent strain, S. sonnei 53G.ConclusionAnalysis of the lipopolysaccharide biosynthetic genes helped us to get more insight into the pathogenicity and virulence of the bacteria. The genome revealed high similarities with S. sonnei 53G, which can be used as a standard in characterizing the S. sonnei 4303's R-type isogenic derivatives.

Draft Genome Sequences of Four Aerobic Isobutane-Metabolizing Bacteria.

Project description:Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four aerobic gaseous alkane-oxidizing bacteria isolated from soil by enrichment culture using isobutane (2-methylpropane) as the sole carbon and energy source. The sequences all reveal microorganisms with multiple alkane-oxidizing monooxygenases, including soluble di-iron monooxygenases (SDIMOs), copper-containing monooxygenases (CuMMOs), and alkane hydroxylases (AHs).

Sequence variation in Shigella sonnei (Sonnei), a pathogenic clone of Escherichia coli, over four continents and 41 years.

Project description:The genetic variation within a bacterial clone (known as Shigella sonnei but in effect a clone of Escherichia coli) was examined by studying 46 clinical isolates that were epidemiologically unassociated and isolated from patients in different countries over a period of 41 years (1950 to 1991). Restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing of two housekeeping genes, mglB and gnd, in 10 strains revealed only one nucleotide substitution in the mglB gene in one strain. Ribotyping of 31 strains recovered from five countries over the 41 years proved more sensitive, detecting eight polymorphic sites with worldwide change in frequency of alleles at one site over the period studied.
