Comparative genomics of two Shewanella xiamenensis strains isolated from a pilgrim before and during travels to the Hajj.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shewanella xiamenensis has been reported in water environment and in patients and can act as the originator of oxacillinase in gram-negative bacteria. In order to assess genome plasticity and its functional properties related diarrhea symptoms in pilgrim, comparisons of draft genome sequences of the two isolates were conducted with other closely related genomes.

Results

We isolated S. xiamenensis 111B and 111D strains from a pilgrim before travels to the Hajj and during travels with diarrhea symptom, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing showed that draft genome size of 111B strain was 5,008,191 bp, containing 49 kb of a putative plasmid. The genome size of 111D was 4,964,295 bp containing 225 kb of a putative plasmid that shared the backbone sequences with the ho
