First whole genome report of Mangrovibacter phragmitis PSU-3885-11 isolated from a patient in Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Mangrovibacter phragmitis is a Gram-negative bacterium typically found in plant roots that supports nitrogen fixation in nutrient-poor environments such as mangrove ecosystems. Although primarily found in environmental niches, an unusual case in Thailand of M. phragmitis strain PSU-3885-11 isolated from the sputum of a 29-year-old female patient with spinal tuberculosis. This isolate was initially misidentified as part of the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) by MALDI-TOF. However, WGS subsequently confirmed its correct identity as M. phragmitis. The genome contains 4,651 coding sequences, along with 72 tRNA genes and 1 tmRNA. Moreover, comparative genomic analysis showed 99.32 % average nucleotide identity (ANI) similar to M. phragmitis MP23, and severa
