Whole-Genome Sequence of Streptococcus tigurinus Strain osk_001, Isolated from Postmortem Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptococcus tigurinus was recently described as a novel species, and some strains are highly virulent. We detected S. tigurinus in infected tissue sampled by necropsy. In order to characterize and confirm the virulence of this species, whole-genome sequencing of the pure cultured bacterium was performed. We found that the strain has specific and unique genetic elements contained in highly virulent strains of S. tigurinus.

Whole-Genome Sequences of Streptococcus tigurinus Type Strain AZ_3a and S. tigurinus 1366, a Strain Causing Prosthetic Joint Infection
Streptococcus tigurinus, a novel member of the Streptococcus mitis group, was recently identified as a causative agent of invasive infections. We report the complete genome sequences of the S. tigurinus type strain AZ_3a and S. tigurinus strain 1366. The genome sequences assist in the characterization of virulence determinants of S. tigurinus.
متن کاملThe First Case of Concurrent Infective Endocarditis and Spondylitis Caused by Streptococcus tigurinus
Dear Editor Streptococcus tigurinus, a novel bacterial species, was first discovered by Zbinden et al. in 2012 [1]. Although S. tigurinus was reported to cause invasive infections, accurate identification of this organism requires genetic analysis [1-6]. We report a patient with concurrent bacteremia, endocarditis, and spondylitis caused by S. tigurinus. A 79-yr-old male presented with chills a...
متن کاملStreptococcus tigurinus, a novel member of the Streptococcus mitis group, causes invasive infections.
We recently described the novel species Streptococcus tigurinus sp. nov. belonging to the Streptococcus mitis group. The type strain AZ_3a(T) of S. tigurinus was originally isolated from a patient with infective endocarditis. According to its phenotypic and molecular characteristics, S. tigurinus is most closely related to Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pseudopneum...
متن کاملWhole-genome shotgun sequencing of a colonizing multilocus sequence type 17 Streptococcus agalactiae strain.
This report highlights the whole-genome shotgun draft sequence for a Streptococcus agalactiae strain representing multilocus sequence type (ST) 17, isolated from a colonized woman at 8 weeks postpartum. This sequence represents an important addition to the published genomes and will promote comparative genomic studies of S. agalactiae recovered from diverse sources.
