Comprehensive genomics reveals novel sequence types of multidrug resistant Klebsiella oxytoca with uncharacterized capsular polysaccharide K- and lipopolysaccharide O-antigen loci from the National Hospital of Uganda.

The Klebsiella oxytoca complex comprises diverse opportunistic bacterial pathogens associated with hospital and community-acquired infections with growing alarming antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to uncover the genomic features underlying the virulence and antimicrobial resistance of isolates from Mulago National Hospital in Uganda. We coupled whole genome sequencing with Pathogenwatch multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and downstream bioinformatic analysis to delineate sequence types (STs) capsular polysaccharide K- and O-antigen loci, along with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of eight clinical isolates from the National Referral Hospital of Uganda.

Complete genome sequence of strain MARUCo01 isolated from marine sediments of the Indian Ocean in Bagamoyo, Tanzania.

has emerged as a species with potential for versatile nonribosomal peptides and polyketides of therapeutic importance, including antibiotics. From our molecular bioprospecting project, we report a full genome of strain MARUCo01 locally isolated from sediments of the Indian Ocean along the coast of Bagamoyo in Tanzania.

Complete genome sequence data of Priestia megaterium strain MARUCO02 isolated from marine mangrove-inhabited sediments of the Indian Ocean in the Bagamoyo Coast.

is a genus of biotechnologically important bacteria adapted to thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions including the marine sediments. Here, we screened and isolated a strain from the Bagamoyo marine mangrove-inhabited sediments and then employed whole genome sequencing to recover and define its full genome. -assembly with Unicycler (v.
