Classification of three corynebacterial strains isolated from a small paddock in North Rhine-Westphalia: proposal of sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov.

Three novel corynebacterial species were isolated from soil sampled at a paddock in Vilsendorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The strains were coccoid or irregular rod-shaped, catalase-positive and pale white to yellow-orange in colour. By whole genome sequencing and comparison of the 16S rRNA genes as well as the whole genome structure, it was shown that all three strains represent novel species of the family , order , class .

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain WS136, a Highly Cytotoxic ExoS-Positive Wound Isolate Recovered from Pyoderma Gangrenosum.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects patients with a compromised immune defense. Here, we present the improved 6.5-Mb draft genome of strain WS136, an ExoS-positive and ExoU-negative highly cytotoxic chronic wound isolate recovered from pyoderma gangrenosum of a patient who received bone marrow transplantation.
