Query: NC_010545:1089286 Corynebacterium urealyticum DSM 7109, complete genome
Lineage: Corynebacterium urealyticum; Corynebacterium; Corynebacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Corynebacterium urealyticum DSM 7109 (ATCC 43042, NCTC 12011) was isolated from a case of cystitis. Corynebacterium urealyticum is a member of normal human skin and mucosal flora. This organism, however, can colonize the urinary tract causing infections.
Subject: NC_006155:2084669 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis IP 32953, complete genome
Lineage: Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Yersinia; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain is a fully virulent serotype I strain isolated from a human patient. Environmental bacterium that causes gastrointestinal disease. Specific virulence factors are encoded within pathogenicity islands (PAIs) that are required for the invasive phenotype associated with Yersinia infections. One key virulence plasmid contained by the three human-specific pathogens is pCD1/pYv, which encodes a type III secretion system for the delivery of virulence proteins that contribute to internalization into the host cell. This organism was first isolated in 1883 by Malassez and Vignal and is termed pseudotuberculosis since it causes lesions in the lung that are similar to those observed during tuberculosis infection. It is ubiquitous in the environment and is a food and waterborne pathogen that affects animals as well as humans by causing gastroenteritis like Yersinia enterocolitica.
