Lineage: Staphylococcus lugdunensis; Staphylococcus; Staphylococcaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Complete genome sequencing of Staphylococcus lugdunensis strain HKU09-01 isolated from a patient suffering from skin and soft tissue infection. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is known to be a pathogenic member of the coagulase-negative staphylococci, causing skin and soft tissue infections, catheter-related bacteremia, native valve endocardititis and osteomyelitis.
Subject: NC_011134:51218 Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus str. MGCS10565, complete
Lineage: Streptococcus equi; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus str. MGCS10565 was responsible for a large and severe epidemic outbreak of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Streptococci are Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, catalase-negative cocci that occur in pairs or chains. Members of this genus vary widely in pathogenic potential. Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci. Streptococcus equi is comprised of three subspecies equi, zooepidemicus and ruminatorum all of which cause disease in horses, sheep or goats. Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus has also been isolated from clinical cases in humans and other animals. This species is a Lancefield C group bacterium.
