Five complete (H1N1)pdm09 viral sequences were recovered from hospitalized individuals during the 2015 influenza outbreak by metagenomic sequencing. Four of the genomes are from oropharyngeal swabs, and one is from an isolate. All five sequences belong to an emerging 6B clade. Studying them further is critical for outbreak preparedness.

Here, we announce the genome of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Citrobacter freundii strain isolated from the cecum of a house sparrow that was found dead in Berlin-Lichtenberg, Germany, in 2017. This isolate exhibits increased MICs for several antimicrobials and a comprehensive set of acquired resistance determinants potentially involved in horizontal gene transfer.

The complete genome sequence of the novel virulent Siphoviridae phage PMBT28, which may potentially be utilized for the biocontrol of Salmonella spp., is reported here. The phage was isolated using Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Senftenberg ATCC 43845 as a bacterial host. The genome had no significant sequence similarity to known phage genomes.

We present complete genome sequences of 13 Propionibacterium acnes phages isolated from urban raw sewage. They belong to the family Siphoviridae, have genome sizes of 29,450.6 ± 256.5 nucleotides and G+C contents of 54.14% ± 0.22% and contain 42 to 45 coding DNA sequences (CDS). Genomic sequences of 9 of 13 phages were divergent by 6 to 10%, distinguishing them as species.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium WG49 is widely used for enumeration of F-specific RNA (F-RNA) coliphages in water. Escherichia coli WG5 is broadly used for the detection and enumeration of somatic coliphages in water samples. We report here the genome sequences of these bacterial strains used in South Africa under ISO methods 10705-1 and 10705-2.

Here, we isolated two chikungunya virus strains (SZ1050 and SZ1239) from patients infected with chikungunya virus who were returning to China from India and Indonesia, respectively. Strain SZ1050 was classed in the Indian Ocean lineage, and strain SZ1239 belonged to the Asian lineage. No A226V mutation in the envelope protein E1 was found in either strain.

The full-genome sequence of bluetongue virus serotype 15 (BTV-15) strain B105/YN/1996 isolated in China was determined for the first time. The virus was isolated from sentinel cattle in Yunnan Province, China, in 1996. The total size of the BTV-15 strain B105/YN/1996 genome is 19,161 bp in length. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that it belongs to the major eastern BTV topotype. This work is the first to document the complete genomic sequence of a BTV-15 strain from China. The sequence information will help determine the geographic origin of Chinese BTV-15 and provide data to facilitate future analyses of the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of BTV strains.

Here, we present the genome sequences of 23 Bifidobacterium isolates from several commercially available dietary supplements and cultured food products. Strains of this genus are natural inhabitants of the mammalian mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina. Some species are considered beneficial to human health.

A high level of variation in microflora can be observed in profiles of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from sourdoughs. Here, we present draft genome sequences of Lactobacillus reuteri E81, L. reuteri LR5A, L. rhamnosus LR2, L. plantarum PFC-311, and the novel Lactobacillus sp. strain PFC-70, isolated from traditional Turkish backslopped wheat sourdoughs.

Carbapenems are an important class of β-lactams and one of the last options for treating severe human infections. We present here the complete genome sequence of avian native carbapenemase-producing Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Corvallis strain 12-01738, harboring a bla_NDM-1-carrying IncA/C₂ plasmid, isolated in 2012 from a wild bird (Milvus migrans) in Germany.
