Genetic characterization of Aerococcus sp. 1KP-2016 strain isolated from a patient with bloodstream infection

Aerococcus genus bacteria are often associated with human urinary tract and bloodstream infections. The Aerococcus sp. 1KP-2016 strain isolated from the buffy coat had the 16S rRNA sequence that was a 98.7% (and less) match with the previously described members of this genus. The purpose of this stu...

Description
Summary:Aerococcus genus bacteria are often associated with human urinary tract and bloodstream infections. The Aerococcus sp. 1KP-2016 strain isolated from the buffy coat had the 16S rRNA sequence that was a 98.7% (and less) match with the previously described members of this genus. The purpose of this study was to perform whole genome sequencing of Aerococcus 1KP-2016 followed by phylogenetic reconstruction. We have shown that Aerococcus 1KP-2016 belongs to the new species of the Aerococcus genus that is closest to Aerococcus viridans and Aerococcus urinaeequi. The genomic sequence, which consists of 2.042 million bps with GC content at 38.5%, was deposited in the DBJ/EMBL/GenBank under identifier NEEY00000000.
