Draft genome sequences of four Achromobacter ruhlandii strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract

Achromobacter species are being increasingly isolated from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients. Recent reports indicate that Achromobacter ruhlandii is a potential human pathogen in cystic fibrosis-related infections. Here we report the draft genome of four A. ruhlandii strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients in Brazil. This report describes A. ruhlandii as a potential opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and provides a framework to for additional enquires into potential virulence factors and resistance mechanisms within this species.

“…The second intact phage encoded by region 3 has the highest similarity to Pseudomonas phage YMC11/02/R656 (35/41 phage proteins) (NCBI accession number NC_028657) which is an unclassified phage from the Siphoviridae family. It was reported in the genome of Achromobacter ruhlandii strain 8173 isolated from cystic fibrosis patients (Rodrigues et al, 2016). The incomplete phage encoded by region 4 is predicted to be similar to Pseudomonas phage PMG1 (9/11 phage proteins) (NCBI accession number NC_016765), which was identified in the genome of Brucella canis strain BCB018 isolated from dogs (Kaden et al, 2014).…”
