Draft genome sequence of the strain 16-537536, isolated from a patient with bronchiectasis and its relationship to the Pseudomonas koreensis group of the Pseudomonas fluorescens complex.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:The Pseudomonas koreensis group bacteria are usually found in soil and are associated with plants. Currently they are poorly described. Here we report on the whole genome sequence of a bacterial isolate from a patient with bronchiectasis that was first identified as P. koreensis, and on its position in the P. koreensis group. RESULTS:Strain 16-537536 was isolated from a patient with bronchiectasis from Spain and initially identified by MALDI-TOF as P. koreensis, a member of the Pseudomonas fluorescens complex. However, the average nucleotide identity analysis (ANIb) and whole genome alignments of the draft genome sequence of this strain showed it to be a member of the P. koreensis group of the P. fluorescens complex, but belonging to an undescribed species. In addition, based on
