Query: NC_017051:203752 Rickettsia prowazekii str. Dachau chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Rickettsia prowazekii; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This species is the causal agent of typhus. The bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism, in this case humans, where they target endothelial cells and sometimes macrophages. They attach via an adhesin, rickettsial outer membrane protein A, and are internalized where they persist as cytoplasmically free organisms. Transovarial transmission (from mother to offspring) occurs in the invertebrate host.

Subject: NC_011999:1320159 Macrococcus caseolyticus JCSC5402, complete genome

Lineage: Macrococcus caseolyticus; Macrococcus; Staphylococcaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This methicillin-resistant strain was isolated from animal meat in a supermarket. This organism is a large gram positive coccus, related to the Staphylococcus, often associated meat and sheep, goat and cattle milk.
