Query: NC_014363:480049 Olsenella uli DSM 7084 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Olsenella uli; Olsenella; Coriobacteriaceae; Coriobacteriales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Human gingival crevice; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C. The bacteria are nonmotile, Gram-positive rods that occur singly, in pairs, and in short chains; the central part of the cell may swell particularly when grown on solid medium. This strain is microaerotolerant to anaerobic and grows optimally at 37 degrees Celsius. Olsenella uli (formerly Lactobacillus uli) has been isolated from human gingival crevices and periodontal pockets.
Subject: 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.
