Genome Sequences of Microbacterium foliorum Bacteriophages StrawberryJamm, Quammi, Teehee, and Casend.

Four microbacteriophages infecting the host Microbacterium foliorum were isolated at Gonzaga University as part of the SEA-PHAGES program. Phages Teehee, StrawberryJamm, Quammi, and Casend are in the EG cluster, with average genome sizes of 62,263 bp and GC contents of 67.2%, with other interesting characteristics.

Assessment of Machine Learning vs Standard Prediction Rules for Predicting Hospital Readmissions.

Importance: Hospital readmissions are associated with patient harm and expense. Ways to prevent hospital readmissions have focused on identifying patients at greatest risk using prediction scores.

Objective: To identify the type of score that best predicts hospital readmissions.

Genome Sequences of Cluster K Mycobacteriophages DrHayes, Urkel, and SamuelLPlaqson.

Mycobacteriophages DrHayes, Urkel, and SamuelLPlaqson were isolated from soil samples in Spokane, WA, using mc155 grown at room temperature. The three genomes differ by only a few nucleotides, are 60,526 bp long, have 97 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA gene, and are members of subcluster K1.
