Complete Genome Sequence of a Suckermouth Catfish Outbreak Isolate, Aeromonas hydrophila Strain LP0103

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila is the most common opportunistic pathogen that plagues freshwater and euryhaline fishponds. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of A. hydrophila strain LP0103, which was isolated from a bacterial septicemia outbreak among suckermouth catfish ( Pterygoplichthys pardalis ) at Lotus Pond in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.

Emergence of meropenem and levofloxacin resistance in Burkholderia pseudomallei in Taiwan

“…However, levofloxacin is actually not indicated for the treatment of melioidosis in the eradication and maintenance phases. 9 In this study, whether the previous exposure to cefmetazole and levofloxacin might be associated with emergence of meropenem and levofloxacin resistance in CMUH-BP250–2 isolate remained unclear. However, when grown under biofilm-inducing conditions, B. pseudomallei has high potential for developing multiple antibiotic resistance.…”

“…These reads were then used for assembling and polishing of the genome with hifiasm v0.15.3 and GCpp v2.0.2 ( https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/gcpp ), respectively. 9 A total of 13 and 123 contigs were yielded in CMUH-BP250–1 and CMUH-BP250-2, respectively. The prediction of probably antibiotic resistance genes was analyzed by the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) using Resistance Gene Identifier (RGI) software with selection criteria as Perfect and Strict only.…”
