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.
