Query: NC_016612:5296076 Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Klebsiella oxytoca; Klebsiella; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium can cause spontaneous infectious spondylodiscitis (SIS), an uncommon cause of low back pain in adults, but most commonly described in children. This species can be differentiated from Klebsiella pneumoniae by its inability to produce indole from tryptophan.
Subject: NC_013508:1289159 Edwardsiella tarda EIB202, complete genome
Lineage: Edwardsiella tarda; Edwardsiella; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative member of the normal gut microflora of fish, humans, chickens and other animals. This organism is also a serious pathogen of marine and freshwater fish and has been isolated from channel catfish, Japanese eels, flounder, tilapia, and other economically important fish. Infection by this organism is characterized by septicemia, internal abscesses, and skin lesions. This disease is often associated with poor water quality and mortality in aquaculture can be high. Edwardsiella tarda also causes opportunistic infections in humans, most commonly gastroenteritis and wound infections. However, this organism has been isolated from cases of septicemia and meningitis, primarily in immunocompromised patients.
