We present the draft genome sequence and antibiogram of a high-risk sequence type ST15 multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (Kleb009) from a neonatal blood culture from Ghana. Despite the public health importance of K. pneumoniae, genomic data on locally circulating strains are limited. This data will enhance antimicrobial resistance surveillance efforts.

Ekhidna algicida To15T was isolated from the Tropical Pacific Ocean, based on its algicidal effect on the pelagic diatom Thalassiosira oceanica. We report the complete genome sequence, comprising one chromosome for this newly discovered species of "filterable bacteria", which is pathogenic to diverse diatoms, including diatoms isolated from similar locations.

We report the complete genome sequence of Caulobacter vibrioides CB2A JS4038. This strain is a variant of C. vibrioides CB2A containing genotypic changes needed to host a plasmid-encoded S-layer display system. PacBio long-read sequencing and assembly provide a closed reference genome, constraining the chromosomal location of these changes.

We report the complete genome sequence of Rahnella sp. PAMC25559, isolated from Zugspitz glacier, Austria. The complete genome assembly was generated, consisting of one chromosome and two putative plasmid sequences. The genome includes biosynthetic gene clusters potentially related to cold adaptation and plant growth-promoting activity.

We report the draft genome sequence of Mammaliicoccus sciuri strain BAU-MFRK-Mam-2025 isolated from phuchka samples in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The 2.78 Mb genome (GC 32.8%, genome coverage 50×) harbors multiple antibiotic resistance genes, underscoring its potential threat to food safety, antimicrobial resistance dissemination, and public health.
Here, we report the complete genome sequencing of a new Mycobacterium sp. nov. from a compromised Japanese individual with hematological malignancy. This will represent the essential data for future phylogenetic and comparative genome studies and will be useful for better understanding the evolution of the pathogen.

We report draft whole-genome sequences of three extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (UM29, UM64, and UM66) isolated in Morocco in 2013. These assemblies support resistance profiling, molecular epidemiology, and comparative genomics. Raw sequencing reads and genome assemblies are publicly accessible through the NCBI database under BioProject PRJNA1302428.
