Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense produces mycolactone and causes Buruli ulcer. Here, we report the complete sequence of its genome, which comprises a 5.9-Mb chromosome and a 166-kb plasmid (pShT-P). The sequence will represent the essential data for future phylogenetic and comparative genome studies of mycolactone-producing mycobacteria.

Buruli ulcer caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp shinshuense: a rare case of familial concurrent occurrence and detection of insertion sequence 2404 in Japan.
IMPORTANCE Buruli ulcer, a severe skin infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. Recently, cases of Buruli ulcer have been increasing in Japan. All cases have been sporadic, and to date the pathogenic organism has not been detected in materials from the environment. OBSERVATIONS Three members of the same family were seen with large in...

Though considerable sequence information from different organisms was available prior to the recent advances in genome sequencing technology, the foundation for our current understanding of the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis was laid by the release of the first complete genome sequence of Heamophilus influenza in 1995 (Fraser-Liggett, 2005). Ever since, significant progress in the availab...

Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii is a rapidly growing mycobacterial organism for which the taxonomy is unclear. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii type strain. This sequence will provide essential information for future taxonomic and comparative genome studies of these mycobacteria.

We report the complete genome sequence of a Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii isolate recovered from a sputum culture from an individual with cystic fibrosis. This sequence is the first completed whole-genome sequence of M. abscessus subsp. bolletii and adds value to studies of M. abscessus complex genomics.
متن کاملReductive evolution and niche adaptation inferred from the genome of Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer.
Mycobacterium ulcerans is found in aquatic ecosystems and causes Buruli ulcer in humans, a neglected but devastating necrotic disease of subcutaneous tissue that is rampant throughout West and Central Africa. Here, we report the complete 5.8-Mb genome sequence of M. ulcerans and show that it comprises two circular replicons, a chromosome of 5632 kb and a virulence plasmid of 174 kb. The plasmid...
