Complete Genome Sequence of the Environmental Burkholderia pseudomallei Sequence Type 131 Isolate MSHR1435, Associated with a Chronic Melioidosis Infection

ABSTRACT The Burkholderia pseudomallei isolate MSHR1435 is a fully virulent environmental sequence type 131 (ST131) isolate that is epidemiologically associated with a 17.5-year chronic melioidosis infection. The completed genome will serve as a reference for studies of environmental ecology, virulence, and chronic B. pseudomallei infections.

The First NDM Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolate in Poland: Evolution of IncFII-Type Plasmids Carrying theblaNDM-1Gene

ABSTRACTPoland's firstEnterobacteriaceaeisolate producing the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) was identified in August 2011.Escherichia colisequence type ST410 NDM-1 was cultured from a critically ill patient who had been transferred directly from the Congo. TheblaNDM-1gene was carried by conjugative IncFII-type plasmid pMC-NDM (87,619 bp), which showed structural similarity to plasmid pGUE-NDM, which was identified earlier in France in anE. coliST131 isolate of Indian origin.

Complete Sequence of pJIE143, apir-Type Plasmid Carrying ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-15from an Escherichia coli ST131 Isolate

ABSTRACTpJIE143 (34 kb), from anEscherichia coliST131 isolate, carriesblaCTX-M-15but could not be typed using the standard PCR-based replicon-typing primer set. Complete sequencing revealed a backbone with similarity to IncX plasmids, including apir-like gene encoding a π-like replication protein and iterons related to those of other IncX plasmids. The 2.971-kb ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-15-orf477Δ transposition unit often found within Tn2is inserted just beyond the end ofpir, flanked by 5-bp direct repeats.
