Query: NC_013162:1364888 Capnocytophaga ochracea DSM 7271, complete genome
Lineage: Capnocytophaga ochracea; Capnocytophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Capnocytophaga ochracea DSM 7271 was isolated from the human oral cavity. This organism causes periodontal disease and can also be an opportunistic pathogens, causing septicemia, peritonitis, endocarditis and conjunctivitis in susceptible patients. These are Gram-negative, anaerobic gliding bacteria isolated from normal human supragingival plaque and from periodontal lesions.
Subject: NC_005295:272708 Ehrlichia ruminantium str. Welgevonden, complete genome
Lineage: Ehrlichia ruminantium; Ehrlichia; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated in mice from an infected tick. Obligate intracellular bacterium and causative agent of heartwater. This organism causes heartwater, a disease with a high mortality rate that affects both wild and domesticated ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Caribbean. The name heartwater refers to the hydropericardium (excessive fluid in the sac surrounding the heart) commonly found associated with infection. This organism is found in membrane-bound vacuoles in endothelial cells and neutrophils and is an obligate intracellular parasite.
