Draft Genome Sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae PR06
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a Gram-positive bacterium that was first recognized as a causative agent of bovine mastitis. S. agalactiae has subsequently emerged as a significant cause of human diseases. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. agalactiae PR06, which was isolated from a septicemic patient in a local hospital in Malaysia.
متن کاملStreptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus agalactiae, a unique bacterium commonly referred to as group B streptococcus (GBS), is evolving to become a major pathogen that causes a wide variety of problems across a broad spectrum of individuals. The greatest controversy over this bacterium involves the obstetrical patient. Lawyers have made this organism a centerpiece, leading their clients to believe that the presence of G...
متن کاملWhole genome shotgun sequencing of Indian strains of Streptococcus agalactiae
Group B streptococcus is known as a leading cause of neonatal infections in developing countries. The present study describes the whole genome shotgun sequences of four Group B Streptococcus (GBS) isolates. Molecular data on clonality is lacking for GBS in India. The present genome report will add important information on the scarce genome data of GBS and will help in deriving comparative genom...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Three Fish-Associated Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates
The whole-genome sequences are described here for three group B Streptococcus (GBS) (S. agalactiae) serotype Ib isolates obtained from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farmed at sites in Honduras, Costa Rica, and the United States. The bacteria were isolated from the brains of fish displaying signs of streptococcosis.
متن کاملSimple sequence repeats and genome plasticity in Streptococcus agalactiae.
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and their role in phase variation have been extensively studied in Gram-negative organisms, where they have been associated with antigenic variation and other adaptation strategies. In this study, we apply comparative genomics in order to find evidence of slipped-strand mispairing in the human Gram-positive pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae. In two consecutive scr...
