AI Article Synopsis

  • The whole-genome sequences of Mycobacterium chimaera strains 850 and 852 were determined from water samples in a heater-cooler unit at Siena University Hospital in Italy.
  • Both strains have a circular chromosome and five plasmids, with strain 850's genome size being 6,275,686 base pairs and strain 852's being 6,453,144 base pairs.
  • The sequencing utilized a combination of Nanopore and Illumina technologies to analyze the genomes.

Article Abstract

The whole-genome sequences of Mycobacterium chimaera strains 850 and 852, which were isolated from two different water samples obtained from a heater-cooler unit at Siena University Hospital (Italy), were determined by combining Nanopore and Illumina technologies. Genomes of both strains 850 and 852 consist of a circular chromosome and five plasmids, with sizes of 6,275,686 bp and 6,453,144 bp, respectively.
