Query: NC_013315:2505792 Clostridium difficile CD196 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Peptoclostridium difficile; Peptoclostridium; Peptostreptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolated from a single patient with pseudomembranous colitis in a Paris hospital in 1985. 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.

Subject: NC_008555:2628858 Listeria welshimeri serovar 6b str. SLCC5334, complete genome

Lineage: Listeria welshimeri; Listeria; Listeriaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Nonpathogenic bacterium. This organism is a nonpathogenic Listeria found in soil, water, food, and sewage. First isolated from decaying plants. L. welshimeri bacteria are small (0.5 to 2.0 μm), non-spore-forming, gram-positive rods which are motile below 30°C by means of peritrichous flagella.
