Query: NC_009616:979861 Thermosipho melanesiensis BI429 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Thermosipho melanesiensis; Thermosipho; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria General Information: BI429 (CIP 104789) is the type strain for this species and was isolated from the gills of Bathymodiolus brevior, a deep-sea mussel. The sample was taken from the Lau Basin at the bottom of a black smoker between 1832 and 1887 metres. Thermosipho melanesiensis is a deep-sea thermophilic marine organism closely related to a hot springs isolate, T. africanus.

General Information: The original ATCC isolate was from a human urine specimen. Commensal Staphylococcal species that can cause acute urinary tract infections. Staphylcocci are generally found inhabiting the skin and mucous membranes of mammals and birds. Some members of this genus can be found as human commensals and these are generally believed to have the greatest pathogenic potential in opportunistic infections. This organism, normally a commensal on human skin and mucous membranes, is now the second most common cause of acute urinary tract infections after Escherichia coli. It often causes uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) in female outpatients.
