Query: NC_013446:4281250 Comamonas testosteroni CNB-2, complete genome
Lineage: Comamonas testosteroni; Comamonas; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Comamonas testosteroni is commonly isolated from activated sludge from industrial wastewater treatment systems. This organism has been shown to be able to degrade a number of different compounds including chlorobenzenes, and may be important for the biodegradation of these compounds.
Subject: NC_010943:1332243 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a, complete genome
Lineage: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; Stenotrophomonas; Xanthomonadaceae; Xanthomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a was isolated from blood infection. This species is an uncommon but serious source of infection in patients with breathing tubes such as endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes, or with chronically indwelling urinary catheters. Although the organism can colonize the devices without causing an infection, under certain conditions it can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or an infection of the blood. This organism can also cause infection in immunocompromised patients. It has resistance to many commonly used antibiotics and therefore is often difficult to eradicate. Most strains are resistant to co-trimoxazole.
