Query: NC_013592:956829 Dickeya dadantii Ech586, complete genome
Lineage: Dickeya dadantii; Dickeya; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Temp: Mesophile. Dickeya dadantii formerly Erwinia chrysanthemi is a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes soft rot diseases on many crops. This organism produces pectinolytic enzymes which break down plant cell walls allowing for the spread of disease.
Subject: NC_010554:2872000 Proteus mirabilis HI4320, complete genome
Lineage: Proteus mirabilis; Proteus; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Proteus mirabilis is a tetracycline resistant human urinary tract isolate. This bacterium is part of the normal gut flora of a healthy individual, but is also an opportunistic pathogen. Flagellar movement allows this organism to travel through the urinary tract into the bladder and kidney where it may cause infection or stones. Cell death is caused by hemolysin, a pore-forming toxin which disrupts osmotic balance across the host cell membrane. This species is inherently resistant to nitrofuran and tetracycline, and some strains have recently become resistant to ampicillin and trimethoprin.
