Draft Genome Sequences of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Clinical Isolates from Colombia.

ABSTRACT: Since the implementation of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine in Colombia, there has been a decrease in the reporting of cases. Here, we report two isolates of Corynebacterium diphtheriae bv. mitis isolated in the reference laboratory at Instituto Nacional de Salud from samples received from Norte de Santander and La Guajira; both areas are located on the northeast border of Colombia.

Draft Genome Sequences of Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Aspergillus tamarii from Colombia.

Project description:Aspergillus is a very diverse genus of fungi that are common in the environment and can affect human health. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Colombian isolates of Aspergillus tamarii, an emerging pathogenic species. One isolate was obtained from an infected patient and the other from the environment in a hospital.

Draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium diphtheriae biovar intermedius NCTC 5011.

Project description:We report an annotated draft genome of the human pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae bv. intermedius NCTC 5011. This strain is the first C. diphtheriae bv. intermedius strain to be sequenced, and our results provide a useful comparison to the other primary disease-causing biovars, C. diphtheriae bv. gravis and C. diphtheriae bv. mitis. The sequence has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank with the accession number AJVH01000000.

Draft Genome Sequences of 27 Northern Maine Clinical Isolates.

Project description:We report the draft genome sequences of 27 common pathogens collected from a northern Maine hospital in 2017. These were sequenced in order to determine temporal and biogeographical patterns of antibiotic gene distribution. A total of 908 antibiotic resistance genes, 848 insertion sequence elements, and 57 plasmids were identified.

Assessing the Genetic Diversity of Austrian Corynebacterium diphtheriae Clinical Isolates, 2011 to 2019.

Project description:Diphtheria is a vaccine-preventable disease with a high potential for reemergence. One of its causative agents is Corynebacterium diphtheriae, with some strains producing diphtheria toxin. From 2011 to 2019, 57 clinical C. diphtheriae strains were isolated in Austria, either from the respiratory tract or from skin infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of these C. diphtheriae isolates using whole-genome sequencing. Isolates were characterized by genome-wide comparisons using single nucleotide polymorphism analysis or core genome multilocus sequence typing and by searching sequence data for antimicrobial resistance genes and genes involved in diphtheria toxin production. The genetic diversity among the isolates was high, with no clear distribution over time or place. Corynebacterium belfantii isolates were separated from other strains and were strongly associated with respiratory infections (odds ratio [OR] = 57). Two clusters, limited in time and space, were identified. Almost 40% of strains carried resistance genes against tetracycline or sulfonamides, mostly from skin infections. Microbiological tests showed that 55% of isolates were resistant to penicillin but did not carry genes conferring β-lactam resistance. A diphtheria toxin gene with no nonsynonymous mutation was found in three isolates only. This study showed that sequencing can provide valuable information complementing routine microbiological and epidemiological investigations. It allowed us to identify unknown clusters, evaluate antimicrobial resistance more broadly, and support toxigenicity results obtained by PCR. For these reasons, C. diphtheriae surveillance could strongly benefit from the routine implementation of whole-genome sequencing.

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.

Draft genome sequences of two Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C clinical isolates.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen known for its capability to cause sepsis and meningitis. Here we report the availability of 2 draft genome sequences obtained from patients infected during the same epidemic outbreak. Both bacterial isolates belong to serogroup C, but their genome sequences show local and remarkable differences compared with each other or with the reference genome of strain FAM18.
