Query: NC_009707:1685381 Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei 269.97 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Campylobacter jejuni; Campylobacter; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from a blood sample of human bacteremia in South Africa. Causes food poisoning. This organism is the leading cause of bacterial food poisoning (campylobacteriosis) in the world, and is more prevalent than Salmonella enteritis (salmonellosis). Found throughout nature, it can colonize the intestines of both mammals and birds, and transmission to humans occurs via contaminated food products. This organism can invade the epithelial layer by first attaching to epithelial cells, then penetrating through them. Systemic infections can also occur causing more severe illnesses
Subject: NC_014259:3369000 Acinetobacter sp. DR1 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Acinetobacter oleivorans; Acinetobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain is capable of degrading paraffin, n-hexadecane, diesel. Acinetobacter sp. DR1 is a diesel degrader Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the soil of rice paddies in Soth Korea. They are found in many different habitats, including soil, water, and sewage, as well as in a variety of foodstuffs. They are also members of the normal microflora of human skin, and have been implicated as a presumed causative or contributory agent of numerous nosocomial (in-hospital) infections, especially those in immunocompromised individuals. Due to their genomic versatility, these bacteria are highly adaptive to treatment with various antibiotic reagents.
