Draft Genome Sequences of Five Legionella pneumophila Strains Isolated from Environmental Water Samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of legionellosis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of five L. pneumophila strains, Bnt314, Ofk308, Twr292, Ymg289, and Ymt294, isolated from environmental water samples. Comparative analyses of these genomes may reveal the survival mechanisms and virulence of L. pneumophila in the natural environment.

Draft Genome Sequences of Legionella pneumophila JR32 and Lp01 Laboratory Strains Domesticated in Japan
We report here the draft genome sequences of two Legionella pneumophila variant strains (JR32 and Lp01_666) originally derived from a Philadelphia-1 clinical isolate, domesticated in Japan, with distinct susceptibility to amoebae. Detailed genomic analysis will allow us to better understand Legionella adaptation and survival mechanisms in host cells.
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella pneumophila from Tehran Hospital Water Samples
Over a Period of three months (summer), 108 samples of water collected from four hospitals in Te-hran. They were taken from numerous potable and non-potable water, including main supply cis-terns, calorifiers, hot and cold tap water, shower, cooling tower and drain of air condition system. Culturing of concentrated and non-concentrated water samples on Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Aga...

We report here the complete genome sequences of two of the earliest known strains of Legionella pneumophila subsp. fraseri Detroit-1 is serogroup 1 and was isolated from a lung biopsy specimen in 1977. Dallas 1E is serogroup 5 and was isolated in 1978 from a cooling tower.
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella Pneumophila Serogroups 1, 8 & 10 (Causative Agents of Legionnaires\' Disease) from Water Sources in Tehran, Iran
In this survey, 187 samples collected from 9 different sources of water in Tehran such as: water coolers, neonates incubators, water bathes (37° C), little pools in parks or squares, cooling towers, hot or cold water taps, were examined for Legionnaires' disease agents. Inoculating water samples on selective and nonselective media resulted in isolation of several strains of gram negative bact...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of the Historical Legionella pneumophila Strains OLDA and Pontiac
Here, we report the complete genome sequences of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 strains OLDA and Pontiac, which predate the 1976 Philadelphia Legionnaires' disease outbreak. Strain OLDA was isolated in 1947 from an apparent sporadic case, and strain Pontiac caused an explosive outbreak at a Michigan health department in 1968.
