چکیده
Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen. Bacteriophages may be useful as an alternative method of treatment against this and other multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of A. baumannii phage Presley, an N4-like podophage.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is a multidrug-resistant bacterium that is well known for its ability to cause diarrhea in humans. Bacteriophages may be used to treat clinical cases involving bacterial dysentery. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of an enterotoxigenic E. coli phage, Pollock, an N4-like podophage.
متن کاملProfile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit inpatients. Prophage sequences constitute a considerable proporti...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii CIP 70.10, a Susceptible Reference Strain for Comparative Genome Analyses
The complete genome sequence for the reference strain Acinetobacter baumannii CIP 70.10 (ATCC 15151) was established. The strain was isolated in France in 1970, is susceptible to most antimicrobial compounds, and is therefore of importance for comparative genome analyses with clinical multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii strains to study resistance development and acquisition in this emerging...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii ZW85-1
Acinetobacter baumannii is an aerobic, nonmotile Gram-negative bacterium that causes nosocomial infections worldwide. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii strain ZW85-1 and its two plasmids. One of the plasmids carries genes for NDM-1, which can hydrolyze a wide range of antibiotics.
