https://www.selleckchem.com/products/PF-2341066.html Mycobacterium xenopi is a slow-growing mycobacterial organism for which pathogenic features are unclear. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an M. xenopi type strain. This sequence will provide essential information for future taxonomic and comparative genome studies of these mycobacteria. Copyright © 2020 Yoshida et al.Serratia symbiotica, one of the most frequent symbiont species in aphids, includes strains that exhibit various lifestyles ranging from free-living to obligate intracellular mutualism. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two strains, namely, 24.1 and Apa8A1, isolated from aphids of the genus Aphis, consisting of genome sizes of 3,089,091 bp and 3,232,107 bp, respectively. These genome sequences may provide new insights into how mutualistic interactions between bacteria and insects evolve and are shaped. Copyright © 2020 Renoz et al.The full genome sequences of two isolates of bluetongue virus (BTV) from a commercial sheeppox vaccine were determined. Strain SPvvvv/02 shows low sequence identity to its closest relative, strain BTV-26 KUW2010/02, indicating the probable detection of a novel BTV genotype, whereas strain SPvvvv/03 shows high sequence identity to strain BTV-28/1537/14. Copyright © 2020 Rajko-Nenow et al.We report the whole-genome sequence of a monkeypox virus strain isolated in Israel. The strain was isolated in 2018 from a patient travelling back from West Africa. The virus was fully sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION platforms. Copyright © 2020 Cohen-Gihon et al.Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a foodborne disease with worldwide outbreaks. STEC serotypes O157, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 cause the most outbreaks. There is little published information regarding the other serotypes. We report the draft genome sequences for 11 uncommon STEC serotypes from Nebraska. Copyright © 2020 Abdalhamid et al.Despite
