First Report of a Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequence of a Clinical Enterococcus faecalis Sequence Type 6 Strain from South Africa.

ABSTRACT: Enterococcus faecalis is a lactic acid-producing Gram-positive bacterium commonly found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals; it is implicated in multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections. The draft genome of this E. faecalis sequence type 6 (ST6) strain consists of 3,215,228 bp, with 37.20% GC content, 3,048 predicted coding sequences, and 61 RNA genes.

Genome Sequence of a Novel Enterococcus faecalis Sequence Type 922 Strain Isolated from a Door Handle in the Intensive Care Unit of a District Hospital in Durban, South Africa.

Project description:Herein, we highlight the genome sequence of a novel Enterococcus faecalis sequence type 922 (ST922) strain isolated in South Africa. The 3,564,442-bp genome harbored defense systems, a resistome, a virulome, and genetic support, which is of importance to the control of hospital-acquired infections. The genomics of Enterococcus faecalis yields greater understanding into its pathogenesis.

Whole-genome shotgun sequence of Rhodococcus species strain JVH1.

Project description:Here we present a whole-genome shotgun sequence of Rhodococcus species strain JVH1, an organism capable of degrading a variety of organosulfur compounds. In particular, JVH1 is able to selectively cleave carbon-sulfur bonds within alkyl chains. A large number of oxygenases were identified, consistent with other members of the genus.

First Report of the Plasmid-mediated fosB Gene in Enterococcus faecalis from Pigs.

Project description:Plasmid-mediated fosfomycin determinants is a global public health concern due to the increasing dissemination of fosfomycin resistance and limited clinical treatment options. Information about the fosfomycin resistant and molecular genetic among Enterococcus spp. is still lacking. In this study, we found the first plasmid-medieted fosB in Enterococcus faecalis from pigs, and all the fosfomycin resistant Enterococcus spp. (FRE) isolates were multi-drug resistant. S1-PFGE, Southern blot and conjugation experiments indicated that the fosB gene located on ~54.7 kb transferable plasmids. Relative competition assay confirmed that the fosB-carrying plasmid impaired fitness in recipient E. faecalis JH2-2. Illumina and the MinION sequencing data revealed that both E. faecalis ES-1 and ES-2 isolates belonged to novel ST (ST964), and had 71 SNPs difference. WGS showed that the genetic environments of fosB were diverse among different species, and the linezolid resistance gene optrA was found in the fosB-carrying strains. To summarize, for the first time, we reported plasmid-mediated fosB in E. faecalis from pigs. And, the co-occurrence of fosB and optrA pose a serious threat to public health.

Draft Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Strain ETH9427.

Project description:The draft genome of Streptomyces sp. strain ETH9427 was sequenced and assembled into three large scaffolds, a 7.745-Mb linear chromosome with terminal inverted repeats of 201?kb and two probable extrachromosomal elements. Thirty-two biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were identified, out of which four are duplicated in the terminal inverted repeats.

First report of the multidrug resistance gene cfr in Enterococcus faecalis of animal origin.

Project description:The multiresistance gene cfr was identified for the first time in an Enterococcus faecalis isolate of animal origin. The 32,388-bp plasmid pEF-01, which carried the cfr gene, was sequenced completely. Three copies of the insertion sequence IS1216 were identified in pEF-01, and the detection of a cfr- and IS1216-containing amplicon by inverse PCR suggests that IS1216 may play a role in the dissemination of cfr by a recombination process.

Complete genome sequence of bacteriophage BC-611 specifically infecting Enterococcus faecalis strain NP-10011.

Project description:Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections in humans and animals and is also an important bacterium for dairy and probiotic supplement production. Therefore, bacteriophages infecting E. faecalis may be useful for phage therapy against multidrug-resistant strains or may threaten industrial fermentation. We isolated a virulent Siphoviridae bacteriophage, BC-611, specifically infecting E. faecalis strain NP-10011 but not infecting other E. faecalis strains or other enterococci. Although the genome sequence of BC-611 resembled that of enterococcal bacteriophage SAP6, BC-611 was marked by its narrow host specificity.
