Query: NC_013316:1 Clostridium difficile R20291, complete genome

Lineage: Peptoclostridium difficile; Peptoclostridium; Peptostreptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Clostridium difficile R20291 was isolated in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, UK in 2006 and is closely related to the North American hypervirulent BI strains. Clostridium difficile, a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacterium, is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea among patients in hospitals worldwide, causing C. difficile infection (CDI). An important nosocomial pathogen, it is frequently associated with antibiotic treatment and causes diseases ranging from antibiotic-associated diarrhea to life-threatening pseudomembraneous colitis.

Subject: NC_010506:2146444 Shewanella woodyi ATCC 51908, complete genome

Lineage: Shewanella woodyi; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This luminous species was isolated from squid ink and seawater from depths of 200 to 300 m in the Alboran Sea. This respiratory (nonfermentive) organism is able to use nitrate or nitrite as a terminal electron acceptor. This organism is motile via a single polar flagellum.
