Draft Genome Sequences of Six Yersinia kristensenii Strains.

Yersinia kristensenii is one of the Yersinia enterocolitica-like bacterial species, which are considered nonpathogenic to humans. In this work, we reported the draft genome sequences of six Yersinia kristensenii strains. These draft genomes will help to better characterize Yersinia kristensenii at the genomic level.

Complete Genome Assembly of Yersinia pestis subsp. pestis bv. Medievalis SCPM-O-B-6530, a Proline-Dependent Strain Isolated from the Central-Caucasian High-Mountain Plague Focus in Kabardino-Balkar Republic (Russia).

We report the complete genome assembly of Yersinia pestis subsp. pestis bv. Medievalis SCPM-O-B-6530, a strain belonging to the most ancient phylogenetic group (group 2.MED0) of Y. pestis subsp. pestis bv. Medievalis. This proline-dependent strain, carrying an additional plasmid (pCKF), was isolated from the Central-Caucasian high-mountain plague focus in Kabardino-Balkar Republic, Russia.

Whole-Genome Assembly of Yersinia pestis 231, the Russian Reference Strain for Testing Plague Vaccine Protection.

We report the whole-genome sequence of Yersinia pestis subsp. pestis bv. Antiqua strain 231 belonging to the 0.ANT3 phylogroup, the reference strain for testing plague vaccine protection in Russia. Genome sequencing was completed using the Oxford Nanopore MinION and Illumina platforms.

Draft Genome Sequences of Three Francisella tularensis subsp. mediasiatica Strains Isolated in the Altai Territory, Russian Federation.

We report the draft genome sequences of three Francisella tularensis subsp. mediasiatica strains isolated in the Altai Territory, Russian Federation.

Draft Genome Sequences of 10 Clinical K2-Type Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated in Russia.

We report here the genome sequences of 10 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of capsular type K2 isolated in Russia from patients in an infectious clinical hospital and neurosurgical intensive care unit. The draft genome sizes range from 5.34 to 5.87 Mb and include 5,448 to 6,137 protein-coding sequences.

Nine Whole-Genome Assemblies of Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. Altaica Strains Isolated from the Altai Mountain Natural Plague Focus (No. 36) in Russia.

We report here the draft genome sequences of nine Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. Altaica strains isolated from the Altai Mountain plague focus (no. 36), which represent the 0.PE4 phylogroup circulating in populations of Mongolian pika (Ochotona pallasi).

Six Whole-Genome Assemblies of Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. ulegeica (Phylogroup 0.PE5) Strains Isolated from Mongolian Natural Plague Foci.

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. ulegeica strains isolated from the territory of Mongolia and representing the 0.PE5 phylogroup circulating in populations of voles and picas.

Complete Genome Sequences of Two Salmonella Viruses, VSe11 and VSe102 (Family Myoviridae, Subfamily Ounavirinae), with a Very High Degree of Similarity.

Two lytic double-stranded DNA bacteriophages, VSe11 and VSe102, infecting broad-spectrum Salmonella enterica were isolated from the sewage of two different poultry farms. The phage genomes comprise 86,360 bp and 86,365 bp, respectively, with a G+C content of 39.0%, and both contain 129 putative coding sequences.
