Query: NC_016603:23756 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus PHEA-2 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus; Acinetobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is part of the normal flora of the human skin and throat. It is an opportunistic pathogen. Originally isolated from industrial wastewater in China because of its ability to use phenol as the sole carbon source.
Subject: NC_015224:3191000 Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. palearctica 105.5R(r) chromosome,
Lineage: Yersinia enterocolitica; Yersinia; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: 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 species is a food and waterborn pathogen that causes gastroenteritis (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestine) and is able to proliferate at temperatures as low as 4 degrees C.
