Draft genomes of , , and isolates from the urinary tract.

Several spp. can be the cause of urinary tract infections. Here we present the draft genome assemblies for four urinary isolates of three spp.

Draft genomes of UMB0578, UMB8339, and UMB7967 isolated from urine samples.

The urinary tract of females harbors a variety of microorganisms, both for those with and without symptoms. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three isolates from urine samples UMB0578, UMB8339, and UMB7967.

Two draft genome assemblies of strains isolated from a cheek swab of a healthy female participant.

is an opportunistic pathogen often commensal within the nasal and oral cavities. Here we present the genomes of O139-S and O139-NS, both isolated from the cheek swab of a healthy female participant. While found in the same sample, the two strains displayed distinct colony morphologies.

Draft genomes of one and five strains isolated from catheterized urine samples of females.

Although and are members of the normal human flora, they also can cause infection. Here, we present the draft genomes of five strains of and one strain of isolated from transurethral catheterized urine samples from different females experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms.

Draft genome sequences of four strains isolated from female urine samples.

is an emerging pathogen of the urinary tract. Here, we present the draft genomes for four strains isolated from urine collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic female participants.

Draft genome sequences of an and isolated from the urine of a male experiencing a catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) can be caused by a variety of microbes. Here, we describe the draft genome assemblies of two species and -purified from the catheterized urine sample of a male diagnosed with a CAUTI.

Draft genome assemblies of one strain and two strains isolated from voided urine samples.

We present the draft genome for three strains isolated from female urine specimens: UMB1673, UMB1855, and UMB5069. Focusing on strains within the female urinary microbiome can provide a more well-rounded understanding of the microbial community and its influence on health and disease.

Draft genomes of two strains isolated from catheterized urine samples from females experiencing overactive bladder symptoms.

In this study, we present the draft genome of two strains isolated from catheterized urine specimens from females with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Through the sequencing of these strains, we aim to better understand its presence and putative role in OAB in the female urinary tract.

Draft genome sequences for a and a isolate from nasal swab samples from healthy females.

and are common members of the human microbiota, but they are also opportunistic pathogens. To identify antibiotic resistance in healthy individuals, we present the genome sequences of 139 N-1 and 173 N-3, both isolated from nasal swab samples from asymptomatic female participants.

Draft genome assemblies of three strains isolated from catheterized urine samples from the same male participant over the course of 6 months.

is a newly identified species within the complex. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of three strains that were isolated from catheterized urine samples collected from a participant in a longitudinal study over ~6 months.

Draft genome of O112, isolated from the cheek swab of a healthy female.

is a Gram-positive bacterium that is part of the normal human flora, found in multiple anatomical sites. Here, we present the 2.5-Mbp draft genome of O112, isolated from a cheek swab collected from a healthy female.

Effect of Stressors on the Carrying Capacity of Spatially Distributed Metapopulations.

Stressors such as antibiotics, herbicides, and pollutants are becoming increasingly common in the environment. The effects of stressors on populations are typically studied in homogeneous, nonspatial settings. However, most populations in nature are spatially distributed over environmentally heterogeneous landscapes with spatially restricted dispersal.

Carrying capacity in a heterogeneous environment with habitat connectivity.

A large body of theory predicts that populations diffusing in heterogeneous environments reach higher total size than if non-diffusing, and, paradoxically, higher size than in a corresponding homogeneous environment. However, this theory and its assumptions have not been rigorously tested. Here, we extended previous theory to include exploitable resources, proving qualitatively novel results, which we tested experimentally using spatially diffusing laboratory populations of yeast.

Bacteriophages isolated from Lake Michigan demonstrate broad host-range across several bacterial phyla.

Background: The study of bacteriophages continues to generate key information about microbial interactions in the environment. Many phenotypic characteristics of bacteriophages cannot be examined by sequencing alone, further highlighting the necessity for isolation and examination of phages from environmental samples. While much of our current knowledge base has been generated by the study of marine phages, freshwater viruses are understudied in comparison.
