Pandrug-resistant from different clones and regions in Mexico have a similar plasmid carrying the gene.

Background: Multidrug-resistant is a common hospital-acquired pathogen. The increase in antibiotic resistance is commonly due to the acquisition of mobile genetic elements carrying antibiotic resistance genes. To comprehend this, we analyzed the resistome and virulome of Mexican multidrug-resistant isolates.

The promiscuous and highly mobile resistome of .

Antimicrobial resistance (AR) is a major global threat to public health. Understanding the population dynamics of AR is critical to restrain and control this issue. However, no study has provided a global picture of the whole resistome of , a very important nosocomial pathogen.

Accessory Genomic Epidemiology of Cocirculating Acinetobacter baumannii Clones.

Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most important multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogens all over the world. Nonetheless, very little is known about the diversity of A. baumannii lineages coexisting in hospital settings.

Environmentally-driven gene content convergence and the Bacillus phylogeny.

Background: Members of the Bacillus genus have been isolated from a variety of environments. However, the relationship between potential metabolism and the niche from which bacteria of this genus have been isolated has not been extensively studied. The existence of a monophyletic aquatic Bacillus group, composed of members isolated from both marine and fresh water has been proposed.

Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of the Type Strain Bacillus horikoshii DSM 8719.

Members of the Bacillus genus have been extensively studied because of their ability to produce enzymes with high biotechnological value. Here, we report the draft of the whole-genome sequence of the type strain Bacillus horikoshii DSM 8719, an alkali-tolerant strain.

Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of the Type Strain Bacillus aquimaris TF12T.

Bacillus aquimaris TF12 is a Gram-positive bacteria isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in South Korea. We report the draft whole-genome sequence of Bacillus aquimaris TF12, the type strain of a set of bacteria typically associated with marine habitats and with a potentially high biotechnology value.

Isolation and characterization of gallium resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 cells resistant to the novel antimicrobial gallium nitrate (Ga) were developed using transposon mutagenesis and by selecting spontaneous mutants. The mutants showing the highest growth in the presence of Ga were selected for further characterization. These mutants showed 4- to 12-fold higher Ga minimal inhibitory growth concentrations and a greater than 8-fold increase in the minimum biofilm eliminating Ga concentration.

Genomic and proteomic analyses of Mycobacterium bovis BCG Mexico 1931 reveal a diverse immunogenic repertoire against tuberculosis infection.

Background: Studies of Mycobacterium bovis BCG strains used in different countries and vaccination programs show clear variations in the genomes and immune protective properties of BCG strains. The aim of this study was to characterise the genomic and immune proteomic profile of the BCG 1931 strain used in Mexico.

Results: BCG Mexico 1931 has a circular chromosome of 4,350,386 bp with a G+C content and numbers of genes and pseudogenes similar to those of BCG Tokyo and BCG Pasteur.

Conserved symbiotic plasmid DNA sequences in the multireplicon pangenomic structure of Rhizobium etli.

Strains of the same bacterial species often show considerable genomic variation. To examine the extent of such variation in Rhizobium etli, the complete genome sequence of R. etli CIAT652 and the partial genomic sequences of six additional R.
