Complete Genome Sequences of Three Outbreak-Associated Legionella pneumophila Isolates.

Project description:We report here the complete genome sequences of three Legionella pneumophila isolates that are associated with a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York in 2012. Two clinical isolates (D7630 and D7632) and one environmental isolate (D7631) were recovered from this outbreak. A single isolate-specific virulence gene was found in D7632. These isolates were included in a large study evaluating the genomic resolution of various bioinformatics approaches for L. pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates.

Complete Genome Sequences of Two Geographically Distinct Legionella micdadei Clinical Isolates.

Project description:Legionella is a highly diverse genus of intracellular bacterial pathogens that cause Legionnaire's disease (LD), an often severe form of pneumonia. Two L. micdadei sp. clinical isolates, obtained from patients hospitalized with LD from geographically distinct areas, were sequenced using PacBio SMRT cell technology, identifying incomplete phage regions, which may impact virulence.

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.

Complete Genome Sequences of Three Lactobacillus gasseri Urine Isolates Obtained from Postmenopausal Women.

Project description:Lactobacillus gasseri frequently colonizes the lower urinary tract of healthy women. However, the role of L. gasseri in urinary tract health and the genes required for urinary tract colonization are poorly understood. Herein, we announce the complete genome sequences of three Lactobacillus gasseri isolates collected from the urine of postmenopausal women.

Legionella pneumophila and Protozoan Hosts: Implications for the Control of Hospital and Potable Water Systems.

Project description:Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic waterborne pathogen of public health concern. It is the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease (LD) and Pontiac fever and is ubiquitous in manufactured water systems, where protozoan hosts and complex microbial communities provide protection from disinfection procedures. This review collates the literature describing interactions between L. pneumophila and protozoan hosts in hospital and municipal potable water distribution systems. The effectiveness of currently available water disinfection protocols to control L. pneumophila and its protozoan hosts is explored. The studies identified in this systematic literature review demonstrated the failure of common disinfection procedures to achieve long term elimination of L. pneumophila and protozoan hosts from potable water. It has been demonstrated that protozoan hosts facilitate the intracellular replication and packaging of viable L. pneumophila in infectious vesicles; whereas, cyst-forming protozoans provide protection from prolonged environmental stress. Disinfection procedures and protozoan hosts also facilitate biogenesis of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) L. pneumophila which have been shown to be highly resistant to many water disinfection protocols. In conclusion, a better understanding of L. pneumophila-protozoan interactions and the structure of complex microbial biofilms is required for the improved management of L. pneumophila and the prevention of LD.

Draft Genome Sequences of Seven Legionella pneumophila Isolates from a Hot Water System of a Large Building.

Project description:Public health data show that a significant fraction of the nation's waterborne disease outbreaks are attributable to premise plumbing. We report the draft genome sequences of seven Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates from hot water lines of a large building. Genomic analysis identified the isolates as belonging to sequence type 1.

Complete Coding Sequences of Five Dengue Virus Type 2 Clinical Isolates from Venezuela Obtained through Shotgun Metagenomics.

Project description:Dengue is a disease endemic in Latin American countries, like Venezuela, and has become one of the most important public health problems. We report five complete coding sequences of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) isolated from DENV-infected patients in Venezuela. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolates within the American/Asian genotype.

Draft Genome Sequences of Legionella Presumptive Novel Species Isolated during Environmental Surveillance in Artificial Water Systems.

Project description:We present the draft genome sequences of three Legionella strains that were isolated from a hotel water distribution system. Legionella species identification was performed by macrophage infectivity potentiator (mip) and RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB) gene sequencing. Whole-genome sequencing and average nucleotide identity results supported the hypothesis of new Legionella species isolation.
