High quality draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii strain hu-01

Abstract

Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii belongs to the family Staphylococcaceae in the order Bacillales, class Bacilli and phylum Firmicutes. The increasing relevance of S. cohnii to human health prompted us to determine the genomic sequence of Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii strain hu-01, a multidrug-resistant isolate from a hospital in China. Here we describe the features of S. cohnii subsp. cohnii strain hu-01, together with the genome sequence and its annotation. This is the first genome sequence of the species Staphylococcus cohnii.

Molecular-genetic Method for Fast Direct Detection of Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin Resistance in Blood Cultures and Punctures

“…Often methicillin resistance occurs in combination with resistance to other various antimicrobials. 22,23 After susceptibility testing to other antibiotic groups, in this study we found that the MRSA isolates from blood cultures (at 39.2%) were predominated compared to those from abscesses (15.6%) (p=0.01). The isolates from group I were from inpatients with bacteriemia.…”

“…This suggests that there is a difference in the origin of the causative agent -community acquired or hospital acquired, which is more frequently described as a reason for increasing the health care-associated infections in relation to MRSA and MRSCoNS. 6,17,22 MLS resistance that did not correlate with hospital acquired infections. Moreover, a dramatic increase in clindamycin resistance among S. aureus isolates has been described.…”

“…cohnii hu-01 is isolated from hospital environments with increasing frequency compared to other CoNS in China and Poland in recent years. 22,23 S. lugdunensis, which was isolated in only 2% of the examined patients' abscess punctures and in 1.3% of the blood cultures, can cause clinically significant infections, especially skin and soft tissue ones, prevalent in older individuals, but bacteriemia, septic arthritis, toxic shock syndrome and postoperative endophthalmitis have been observed with this etiology. Its virulence is higher than that of other CoNS and this species has common virulence factors with S. aureus.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus gallinarum DSM 20610 T , Originally Isolated from the Skin of a Chicken

“…DSM 20610 T was grown aerobically on a Columbia blood agar base at 37°C for 24 h. Genomic DNA was extracted using the DNeasy blood and tissue kit (Qiagen, Germany), as described earlier ( 8 ). Whole-genome sequencing was performed at the State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious at Zhejiang University using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 genomic sequencer.…”

Genome sequencing, assembly, annotation and analysis of Staphylococcus xylosus strain DMB3-Bh1 reveals genes responsible for pathogenicity

“…Till date, 35 species are whole genome sequenced, assembled and annotated some of these are: Staphylococcus aureus strain N315 [3], Staphylococcus carnosus strain TM 300 [4], Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ATCC 1228 [5], Staphylococcus haemolyticus strain JCSC 1435 [6], Staphylococcus lugdunensis strain HKU09-01 [7], Staphylococcus pseudointermidus strain ED 99 [8], Staphylococcus saprophyticus strain ATCC 15305 [9], Staphylococcus warneri strain SG 1 [10], Staphylococcus xylosus strain SMQ-121 [11] and Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii [12]. Various members of the genus Staphylococcus are commensals and inhabitant of the skin and upper respiratory tracts of mammals [13].…”
