Genome Sequences of Nine Gram-Negative Vaginal Bacterial Isolates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vagina is home to a wide variety of bacteria that have great potential to impact human health. Here, we announce reference strains (now available through BEI Resources) and draft genome sequences for 9 Gram-negative vaginal isolates from the taxa Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Fusobacterium, Proteus, and Prevotella.

Profile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit inpatients. Prophage sequences constitute a considerable proporti...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of 14 Firmicutes Strains Isolated from the Human Vagina
Research on vaginal infections is currently limited by a lack of available fully sequenced bacterial reference strains. Here, we present strains (now available through BEI Resources) and genome sequences for a set of 14 vaginal isolates from the phylum Firmicutes These genome sequences provide a valuable resource for future research in understanding the role of Gram-positive bacteria in vaginal...
متن کاملEvolution of gram-negative bacteria: a view from lipid A biosynthesis enzymes
Lipid-A, a complex glycolipid, is the highly immunoreactive endotoxic center of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It anchors the LPS into the outer membrane of most gram-negative bacteria. Lipid A can be recognized by animal cells, triggers some defense-related responses, and causes gram-negative sepsis. The lipid-A biosynthesis pathway consists of nine enzymatic steps. The enzymes involved are: LpxA, ...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of 11 Human Vaginal Actinobacteria Strains
The composition of the vaginal microbiota is an important health determinant. Several members of the phylum Actinobacteria have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis, a condition associated with many negative health outcomes. Here, we present 11 strains of vaginal Actinobacteria (now available through BEI Resources) along with draft genome sequences.
