Draft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Nosocomial Strain That Persisted in a Hospital in Kemerovo, Russian Federation.

is a frequent cause of health care-associated infections and has led to multiple outbreaks. Here, we report the draft genome of a multidrug-resistant strain 189 which was isolated in 2012 as a predominant clone in a neonatal hospital in Kemerovo.

Draft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecium Strain 58m, Isolated from Intestinal Tract Content of a Woolly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius.

Enterococcus faecium 58m is a putative ancient nonpathogenic strain isolated from the intestinal content of an adult woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). Here, we report its draft genome sequence, consisting of 60 contigs. In silico genomic analysis was performed to determine the genetic features and pathogenic potential of this microorganism.

Extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to the international clonal lineage I in a Russian burn intensive care unit.

The high incidence of mortality in patients with severe burns can be attributed to bloodstream infections caused by drug-resistant microorganisms. Multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and class 1 integron PCR amplification were performed to investigate an extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDR-AB) strain recovered from a blood culture of a patient admitted to a burn intensive care unit in St Petersburg (Russian Federation). This case study describes an XDR-AB strain of multilocus sequence type ST231 with a blaGES-12 gene cassette encoding a very potent ceftazidimase located inside of a composite class 1 integron.
