Genome Sequence of Afipia felis Strain 76713, Isolated in Hospital Water Using an Amoeba Co-Culture Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD). We sequenced the genome from a strain of A. felis, which was recovered from a hospital water sample using an amoebal co-culture procedure. It is composed of 3,989,646 bp, with a G+C content of 61.27% and encodes 4,068 protein-coding genes and 53 RNA genes.

Biodiversity of amoebae and amoeba-resisting bacteria in a hospital water network.
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous organisms that have been isolated from various domestic water systems, such as cooling towers and hospital water networks. In addition to their own pathogenicity, FLA can also act as Trojan horses and be naturally infected with amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB) that may be involved in human infections, such as pneumonia. We investigated the biodiversity of...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Afipia Species Isolated from an Indian Flying Fox
An old world fruit bat Pteropus giganteus, held in captivity and suffering from necrosis of its wing digits, failed to respond to antibiotic therapy and succumbed to the infection. Samples submitted to the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease were tested for viral infection. Vero E6 cells exhibited minor but unique cytopathic effects on second blind passage, and full CPE by passage four. ...

A strictly aerobic, mesophilic bacterium, strain AMX 51(T), was isolated from anaerobic digester sludge. Cells were Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating, straight to curved rods with one polar flagellum. The isolate had phenotypic traits of the genus Bosea, including cellular fatty acid and substrate utilization profiles. Physiological characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility were determ...
متن کاملOne Year Genome Evolution of Lausannevirus in Allopatric versus Sympatric Conditions
Amoeba-resisting microorganisms raised a great interest during the last decade. Among them, some large DNA viruses present huge genomes up to 2.5 Mb long, exceeding the size of small bacterial genomes. The rate of genome evolution in terms of mutation, deletion, and gene acquisition in these genomes is yet unknown. Given the suspected high plasticity of viral genomes, the microevolution of the ...
