Complete genome sequence of the saprophytic actinomycete DSD51W, closely related to the multi-host pathogen .

strain DSD51W is an aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile actinomycete isolated previously from soil collected from Kyoto Park, Japan, using a resuscitative technique. Here, we report the complete, circular genome sequence of DSD51W. We employed a hybrid approach using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore platforms.

Characterisation of Early Positive Resistance Gene and Plasmidome in Pathogenic Strains Associated with Variable Phylogroups under Colistin Selection.

An antibiotic susceptibility monitoring programme was conducted from 2004 to 2010, resulting in a collection of 143 cultured from bovine faecal samples (diarrhoea) and milk-aliquots (mastitis). The isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and were distributed in phylogroups A, B1, B2, C, D, E, and G with no correlation for particular genotypes with pathotypes. In fact, the population structure showed that the strains belonging to the different phylogroups matched broadly to ST complexes; however, the isolates are randomly associated with the diseases, highlighting the necessity to investigate the virulence factors more accurately in order to identify the mechanisms by which they cause disease.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Birch Tree Fungal Pathogen Taphrina betulina UCD315.

is the ascomycete yeast that causes the formation of witches' brooms in birch trees. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of , from strain UCD315, isolated from soil in Ireland. The genome is haploid and 12.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Red Basidiomycete Yeast, Symmetrospora coprosmae Strain UCD350, Isolated from Soil in Ireland.

is a red yeast from the subphylum Pucciniomycotina in the phylum Basidiomycota. Here, we present the first genome sequence of strain UCD350, from an isolate collected from soil in Ireland. The genome size is 20.

Potential Interplay between Dietary Saturated Fats and Genetic Variants of the NLRP3 Inflammasome to Modulate Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Risk: Insights from a Meta-Analysis of 19 005 Individuals.

Scope: Insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The nod-like receptor pyrin domain containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a metabolic sensor activated by saturated fatty acids (SFA) initiating IL-1β inflammation and IR. Interactions between SFA intake and NLRP3-related genetic variants may alter T2D risk factors.
