Genome sequencing and annotation of Aeromonas veronii strain Ae52, a multidrug-resistant isolate from septicaemic gold fish ( Carassius auratus ) in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Here we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of A. veronii strain Ae52 isolated from the kidney of a morbund, septicaemic gold fish (Carassius auratus) in Sri Lanka. This clinical isolate showed resistance to multiple antimicrobials; amoxicillin, neomycin, trimethoprim-sulphonamide, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, erythromycin and nitrofurantoin. The size of the draft genome is 4.56 Mbp with 58.66% of G + C content consisting 4328 coding sequences. It harbors a repertoire of putative antibiotic resistant determinants that explains the genetic basis of its resistance to various classes of antibiotics. The genome sequence has been deposited in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession numbers BDGY01000001-BDGY01000080.

Virulence characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria 312M, a clinical isolate

“…veronii biovar sobria can cause several types of infections in humans [1]; here we present genomic and phenotypical characteristics of AVS 312M which was isolated from a patient with diarrhea. The AVS 312M genome size and GC content are similar to that of other strains of the same species recovered from different sources [19,21,27,28], but its genome size, 4.57 Mbp, is smaller than of the strain TH0426 which contains 4.92 Mbp [29].…”

Oral Administration of Lactobacillus Casei Expressing Flagellin A Protein Confers Effective Protection against Aeromonas Veronii in Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio

“…A. veronii is widely distributed in fresh water, sludge, sewage, soil and other natural environments [3]. The main aquatic animals infected by A. veronii include goldfish [4], Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [5], Pacific red snapper (Lutjanus peru) [6] and turtles (Trionyx sinens) [7], resulting in serious economic losses in aquaculture and creating a potential threat to aquatic food safety [8][9][10][11]. By using antibiotics, it is possible to treat diseases induced by Aeromonas.…”

Whole‐genome analysis of multi‐drug‐resistant Aeromonas veronii isolated from diseased discus (Symphysodon discus) imported to Korea

“…b Based on RAC database. c Bold type indicates resistance against respective antibiotics.reported(Jagoda, Honein, Arulkanthan, Ushio, & Asakawa, 2017;Ling et al, 2017).Most relevant ARGs in this strain were located in the chromosome. Unlike our strain, other Aeromonas species (43.5%-79.2% of which were A. veronii) did not show high resistance to (fluoro)quinolone, aminoglycoside, sulphonamide and/or trimethoprim(Jagoda et al, 2014;Sarria-Guzmán et al, 2014).…”
