Whole-Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli Isolates from Cocoa Beans Imported from Bolivia.

ABSTRACT: Four Escherichia coli isolates were obtained from a batch of cocoa beans imported from Bolivia. The cocoa beans were rejected by a U.S. chocolate manufacturer due to poor microbiological quality. The four isolates were whole-genome sequenced and the sequences analyzed to identify genotypes, serotypes, and virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes.

Draft Genome Sequences of 14 Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates from Imported Shrimp.

Project description:We report the draft genome sequences of 14 fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli strains that were isolated from imported shrimp. All isolates contained multiple point mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) and non-QRDRs of gyrA, parC, and parE genes. The data improve the understanding of fluoroquinolone resistance and indicate resistance mechanisms.

Whole-Genome Draft Sequences of Nine Asymptomatic Escherichia coli Bacteriuria Isolates from Diabetic Patients.

Project description:Escherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host. This asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) can protect against recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection by virulent bacteria. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of nine E. coli ABU isolates from diabetic patients.

Genome Sequences of Chikungunya Virus Isolates from Bolivia.

Project description:We generated nine coding-complete chikungunya virus genome sequences from blood samples collected during the early 2015 outbreak in Bolivia. Relative to other publicly available chikungunya sequences, the Bolivian samples represent a monophyletic group, suggesting that a single lineage was widely circulating in the country between February and May 2015.

Complete Genome Sequences of 47 Environmental Isolates of Escherichia coli.

Project description:Escherichia coli is commonly considered a host-associated bacterium. However, there is evidence that some strains occupy environmental (non-host-associated) niches. Here, we report the complete genomes of 47 Escherichia coli environmental isolates. These will be useful for understanding the dynamics of plasmids, phages, and other repetitive genetic elements.

Draft genome sequences of five recent human uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates.

Project description:This study reports the release of draft genome sequences of five isolates of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), isolated from patients suffering from uncomplicated cystitis in 2012 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that these strains belonged to E. coli phylogroups B2 and D and are closely related to known UPEC strains. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that more conserved proteins were shared between these recent isolates and UPEC strains causing cystitis than those causing pyelonephritis. Additional genomic comparisons identified that three isolates encode a type III secretion system (T3SS) and a putative T3SS effector gene cluster along with an invasin-like outer membrane protein. The presence of T3SS genes is a rare occurrence among UPEC strains. These genomes further substantiate the heterogeneity of the gene pool of UPEC and provide a foundation for comparative genomic studies using recent clinical isolates.

Draft Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli Isolates from Wounded Military Personnel.

Project description:Members of the Escherichia coli bacterial family have been grouped as ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens because of their extensive drug resistance phenotypes and increasing threat to human health. The genomes of six extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli strains isolated from wounded military personnel were sequenced and annotated.

Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing and Prediction of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Using Whole-Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli Bloodstream Infection Isolates.

Project description:In total, 50 Escherichia coli bloodstream isolates from the clinical laboratory and 12 E. coli isolates referred for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were sequenced, assessed for clonality using core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and evaluated for genomic susceptibility predictions using ARESdb. Results of sequence typing using whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based MLST and sequence type (ST)-specific PCR were identical. Overall categorical agreement between genotypic (ARESdb) and phenotypic susceptibility testing for 62 isolates and 11 antimicrobial agents was 91%. Among the referred isolates, high major error rates were found for ceftazidime, cefepime, and piperacillin-tazobactam.

Identification of Escherichia coli and Shigella Species from Whole-Genome Sequences.

Project description:Escherichia coli and Shigella species are closely related and genetically constitute the same species. Differentiating between these two pathogens and accurately identifying the four species of Shigella are therefore challenging. The organism-specific bioinformatics whole-genome sequencing (WGS) typing pipelines at Public Health England are dependent on the initial identification of the bacterial species by use of a kmer-based approach. Of the 1,982 Escherichia coli and Shigella sp. isolates analyzed in this study, 1,957 (98.4%) had concordant results by both traditional biochemistry and serology (TB&S) and the kmer identification (ID) derived from the WGS data. Of the 25 mismatches identified, 10 were enteroinvasive E. coli isolates that were misidentified as Shigella flexneri or S. boydii by the kmer ID, and 8 were S. flexneri isolates misidentified by TB&S as S. boydii due to nonfunctional S. flexneri O antigen biosynthesis genes. Analysis of the population structure based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST) data derived from the WGS data showed that the remaining discrepant results belonged to clonal complex 288 (CC288), comprising both S. boydii and S. dysenteriae strains. Mismatches between the TB&S and kmer ID results were explained by the close phylogenetic relationship between the two species and were resolved with reference to the MLST data. Shigella can be differentiated from E. coli and accurately identified to the species level by use of kmer comparisons and MLST. Analysis of the WGS data provided explanations for the discordant results between TB&S and WGS data, revealed the true phylogenetic relationships between different species of Shigella, and identified emerging pathoadapted lineages.

Complete Genome Sequences of Four Escherichia coli ST95 Isolates from Bloodstream Infections.

Project description:Finished genome sequences are presented for four Escherichia coli strains isolated from bloodstream infections at San Francisco General Hospital. These strains provide reference sequences for four major fimH-identified sublineages within the multilocus sequence type (MLST) ST95 group, and provide insights into pathogenicity and differential antimicrobial susceptibility within this group.
