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.
This study reports the draft genome of an Acinetobacter baumannii strain niger01 co-producing blaNDM-1, blaOXA-23, and blaOXA-69 genes. The genome size is 4,084,803 bp, 39.0% GC content, and harbors several insertion sequences. The emergence of new high-risk clones presents an escalating problem that significantly challenges the public health system.

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.

The bacterium Phascolarctobacterium faecium frequently colonizes the human gut and has been reported to have reduced abundance in people with Crohn's disease. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two P. faecium strains isolated from mucosal-luminal interface samples taken from pediatric participants with/without Crohn's disease.

A novel Sphingobium yanoikuyae strain, CC4533, was isolated from a contaminated tris-acetate-phosphate medium culture plate of a green microalga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of this beta-carotene-synthesizing, xenobiotic-degrading, and heavy metal-tolerant strain, providing insights into its metabolic capabilities and phylogenetic relationships.

We report the complete genome sequence of the wine yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae I-118. It was isolated from yeast sediment formed after spontaneous fermentation of Rkatsiteli grapes and is used to produce white wines. Genomic data provide the basis for linking the genotype of this strain with its oenological properties.

Here, we report on the complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli EPI300. This strain harbors an inducible plasmid copy number control system supporting DNA library production and functional screening applications. PacBio long-read sequencing and assembly resolved a closed circular reference genome useful for mapping and editing the EPI300 genetic operating system.
