is recognized as one of the leading pathogens causing nosocomial infections. Here we report a draft genome sequence of SK460, isolated from a chronic diabetic foot ulcer patient. This strain exhibits various biofilm-associated genes, virulence genes, and antibiotic-resistance genes related to aminoglycoside, macrolide, and tetracycline resistance.

We report here the draft genome sequence of a Haitian variant strain, W4-13, isolated from Kerala, South India, possessing cholera toxin gene in chromosomes I and II. The sequence will be useful to achieve a profound understanding on its evolution, with emphasis on its pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance.

We report for the first time the draft genome sequence of two psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species, Pseudomonas simiae RGCB 73 and Pseudomonas brenneri RGCB 108, from the Arctic that produce more than one acyl homoserine lactone molecule of varied N-acyl length. The study confirms the presence of a LuxR-LuxI (type) mediated quorum-sensing system in both the Pseudomonas species and enables us to understand the role of quorum sensing in their survival in extremely cold environments.
