Draft Genome Sequence of 24570, the Type Strain of Shigella flexneri
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shigella flexneri is a diarrheal pathogen that causes a large disease burden worldwide. We sequenced the genome of the publicly available type strain (S. flexneri 2a strain 24570) of this bacterial species to increase its utility as a reference. We present genome assembly results and comparisons with other reference strains.

Draft Genome Sequence of a New Shigella flexneri Subserotype, 4S BJ10610
Shigella flexneri is of great concern in the prevalence of shigellosis and resistance to many antibiotics in developing countries. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a new S. flexneri subserotype, 4S BJ10610, isolated from the stool specimens of a patient in Beijing, China.
متن کاملDraft genome sequences of the type strains of Shigella flexneri held at Public Health England: comparison of classical phenotypic and novel molecular assays with whole genome sequence
BACKGROUND Public Health England (PHE) holds a collection of Shigella flexneri Type strains isolated between 1949 and 1972 representing 15 established serotypes and one provisional type, E1037. In this study, the genomes of all 16 PHE Type strains were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The relationship between core genome phylogeny and serotype was examined. RESULTS The most common...
متن کاملEngineered and construction of pDS132::∆virG as suicide vector for targeted gene deletion of virG from Shigella flexneri 2a in order to generation a live attenuated Shigella vaccine
Background & Objective: Shigella are Gram negative bacteria capable of inducing their entry into non-phagocytic cells via secretion of various effector proteins called invasion plasmid antigens (Ipas). The most important of them is VirG protein. Live attenuated Shigella vaccines have indicated promise in inducing protective immune responses in human clinical trials. In current situation, const...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of SfII, a Serotype-Converting Bacteriophage of the Highly Prevalent Shigella flexneri Serotype 2a
SfII is a serotype-converting temperate bacteriophage of the highly prevalent Shigella flexneri serotype 2a. We isolated the SfII phage from a wild-type strain of S. flexneri serotype 2a. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of this phage.
متن کاملGenome Assembly of Shigella flexneri ATCC 12022, a Quality Control Reference Strain
Shigella flexneri causes shigellosis, severe and potentially life-threatening diarrhea, and accounts for 18% of shigellosis cases in the United States. Here, we present the 4.51-Mbp genome assembly of S. flexneri ATCC 12022, a quality control and reference strain, in 10 scaffolds.
