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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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 Two Pseudomonas aeruginosa Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Isolates, PAL0.1 and PAL1.1.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are challenging due to intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms. We report here the draft genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant strains-PAL0.1, isolated from the airways of an intensive care unit (ICU) patient with ventilator-associated pneumonia, and PAL1.1, isolated from blood cultures of an ICU patient with sepsis.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Clinical Isolates from Uruguay.

Project description:Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica isolates are an increasing problem worldwide; nevertheless, the mechanisms responsible for such resistance are rarely well defined. Multidrug-resistant S. enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates ST3224 and ST827 were collected from two patients. The characteristics of both genomes and antimicrobial resistance genes were determined using next-generation sequencing.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Extensively Drug-Resistant Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Clinical Samples in Pakistan.

Project description:Infections in immunocompromised patients that are caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii strains have been increasingly reported worldwide. In particular, carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains are a prominent cause of health care-associated infections. Here, we report draft genome assemblies for two clinical XDR A. baumannii isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in Pakistan.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Multidrug-Resistant Sequence Type 405 Escherichia coli Isolates without Clinical Infection.

Project description:We present the genome sequences of two carbapenemase-producing sequence type 405 Escherichia coli clinical isolates, strains Marseille-Q1950 and Marseille-Q1951. The isolates were obtained 1 month apart during the patient's hospitalization in Lebanon, in May (Marseille-Q1950) and June (Marseille-Q1951) 2019. The genome sizes of strains Marseille-Q1950 and Marseille-Q1951 were 5,181,515 bp and 5,213,451 bp, respectively.
