We present here the whole-genome sequence of Shewanella sp. WE21, an unusual omega-3 fatty acid-producing bacterium isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of the freshwater fish Sander vitreus (walleye). This genome contains a number of unique, large genomic islands with genes not present in other Shewanella bacteria. Copyright © 2018 Castillo et al.
Escherichia coli O145:H11 strain RM14721 was originally isolated from wildlife feces near a leafy greens-growing region in Yuma, AZ. This strain was initially positive for stx1; however, in subsequent cultures, stx1 was not detected by PCR. Here, we report the complete genome sequence and annotation of RM14721.
Carbapenems are considered last-resort antibiotics used to treat human infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. In 2011, VIM-1 carbapenemase-producing Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis strains were isolated from livestock for the first time in Germany. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the first German blaVIM-1-harboring Salmonella Infantis isolate (15-SA01028) originating from food. Copyright © 2018 Borowiak et al.
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, an infectious disease that affects both animals and humans and thus presents a risk to public health and the livestock industry. Here, we report the genome sequences of five Mycobacterium bovis strains that represent major genotype clusters observed in farmed animals and wildlife in Canada.© Crown copyright 2018.
We report here the genome sequence of Loktanella vestfoldensis strain SMR4r, isolated from the marine diatom Skeletonema marinoi strain RO5AC. Its 3,987,360-bp genome consists of a circular chromosome and two circular plasmids, one of which appears to be shared with an S. marinoi-associated Roseovarius species. Copyright © 2018 Töpel et al.
Lactobacillus helveticus D75 and D76 were isolated from the intestinal tract of a healthy child. Both strains possess symbiotic, probiotic, and antagonistic activities. We have sequenced and annotated the whole genomes of L. helveticus D75 and D76 and have conducted a preliminary genome comparative analysis. Copyright © 2018 Toropov et al.
We report here the draft whole-genome sequence of a fluorene-degrading bacterium, Sphingobium sp. strain LB126. The genes involved in the upper biodegradation pathway of fluorene are located on a plasmid, and the lower pathway that generates tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates is initiated by the meta-cleavage of protocatechuic acid that is chromosomally encoded.

Live attenuated vaccines are essential elements in control programs for the prevention of brucellosis. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of the original Elberg Brucella melitensis Rev.1 vaccine strain, passage 101 (1970). Commercial lines of the original strain have been successfully used in small ruminants worldwide. Copyright © 2018 Salmon-Divon et al.
The complete genome sequence of Bradyrhizobium icense LMTR 13T, a root nodule bacterium isolated from the legume Phaseolus lunatus, is reported here. The genome consists of a circular 8,322,773-bp chromosome which codes for a large and novel symbiotic island as well as genes putatively involved in soil and root colonization.

We report the complete genome sequence of Ehrlichia canis strain YZ-1, which was isolated from a beagle with fever, anorexia, depression, lethargy, weight loss, and thrombocytopenia. E. canis is the tick-borne agent of canine and human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Copyright © 2018 Zhang et al.
Strains of the ciprofloxacin-resistant (Cipr) Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Kentucky sequence type 198 (ST198) have rapidly and extensively disseminated globally to become a major food safety and public health concern. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a CiprS. Kentucky ST198 strain, PU131, isolated from a human patient in Washington State (USA).
Rhodotorula kratochvilovae strain LS11 is a biocontrol agent (BCA) selected for its antagonistic activity against several plant pathogens both in the field and postharvest. Genome assembly includes 62 contigs for a total of 22.56 Mbp and a G+C content of 66.6%. Genome annotation predicts 7,642 protein-encoding genes. Copyright © 2018 Miccoli et al.
Pseudomonas sp. strain WP001 is a laboratory isolate capable of polyurethane polymer degradation and harbors a predicted lipase precursor gene. The genome of strain WP001 is 6.15?Mb in size and is composed of seven scaffolds with a G+C content of 60.54%. Strain WP001 is closely related to Pseudomonas fluorescens based on ribosomal DNA comparisons. Copyright © 2018 Stamps et al.
Escherichia albertii has recently been recognized as an emerging human and bird enteric pathogen. Here, we report the complete chromosome sequence of a clinical isolate of E. albertii strain 1551-2, which may provide information about the pathogenic potential of this new species and the mechanisms of evolution of Escherichia species.

The Burkholderia pseudomallei isolate MSHR1435 is a fully virulent environmental sequence type 131 (ST131) isolate that is epidemiologically associated with a 17.5-year chronic melioidosis infection. The completed genome will serve as a reference for studies of environmental ecology, virulence, and chronic B. pseudomallei infections. Copyright © 2018 Sahl et al.
