Escherichia spp., including E. albertii and E. coli , Shigella dysenteriae , and S. flexneri are causative agents of foodborne disease. We report here reference-level whole-genome sequences of E. albertii (2014C-4356), E. coli (2011C-4315 and 2012C-4431), S. dysenteriae (BU53M1), and S. flexneri (94-3007 and 71-2783)., (Copyright © 2018 Schroeder et al.)

We provide complete circularized genome sequences of two mosquito-derived Elizabethkingia anophelis strains with draft sequences currently in the public domain (R26 and Ag1), and two novel E. anophelis strains derived from a different mosquito species, Anopheles sinensis (AR4-6 and AR6-8). The genetic similarity of all four mosquito-derived strains is remarkable.

We report here 1 near-complete genome sequence and 12 complete genome sequences for clinical Capnocytophaga isolates. Total read coverages ranged from 211× to 737×, and genome sizes ranged from 2.41 Mb to 3.10 Mb. These genomes will enable a more comprehensive taxonomic evaluation of the Capnocytophaga genus.

Enterobacteriaceae carrying plasmid-mediated colistin resistance have been found around the world. We report here the high-quality whole-genome sequence of an Escherichia coli O157:H48 isolate (2016C-3936C1) from Connecticut that carried the mcr-1 resistance gene on an IncX4-type plasmid., (Copyright © 2017 Lindsey et al.)

Plasmodium malariae is a protozoan parasite that can cause human malaria. The simian parasite Plasmodium brasilianum infects New World monkeys from Latin America and is morphologically indistinguishable from P. malariae Here, we report the first full draft genome sequence for P. brasilianum ., (Copyright © 2017 Talundzic et al.)

Species of the genus Bordetella associate with various animal hosts, frequently causing respiratory disease. Bordetella pertussis is the primary agent of whooping cough and other Bordetella species can cause similar cough illness. Here, we report four complete genome sequences from isolates of different Bordetella species recovered from human respiratory infections., (Copyright © 2016 Weigand et al.)

The complete circularized genome sequences of selected specimens from the largest known Elizabethkingia anophelis outbreak to date are described here. Genomic rearrangements observed among the outbreak strains are discussed., (Copyright © 2016 Nicholson et al.)

Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three Legionella pneumophila subsp. pascullei strains (including both serogroup 1 and 5 strains) that were found in the same health care facility in 1982 and 2012., (Copyright © 2016 Kozak-Muiznieks et al.)

The parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis causes foodborne diarrheal illness. Here, we report draft genome sequences obtained from C. cayetanensis oocysts purified from a human stool sample. The genome assembly consists of 865 contigs with a total length of 44,563,857 bases. These sequences can facilitate the development of subtyping tools to aid outbreak investigations., (Copyright © 2015 Qvarnstrom et al.)
