Abstract

This report describes the draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium amycolatum strain ICIS 53, isolated from the reproductive tract of a healthy woman. The size of the genome was 2,460,257 bp (58.98% G+C content). Annotation revealed 2,173 coding sequences, including 2,076 proteins, 7 rRNA genes, and 53 tRNA genes.

Highlights

  • This report describes the draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium amycolatum strain ICIS 53, isolated from the reproductive tract of a healthy woman

  • There are nonpathogenic corynebacteria that constitute a significant part of the normal flora, especially on mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, urogenital tract, and in moist areas of human skin [3,4,5,6]

  • Some strains of nonpathogenic corynebacteria have been recommended for use as probiotic microorganisms [9, 10]

Summary

Introduction

This report describes the draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium amycolatum strain ICIS 53, isolated from the reproductive tract of a healthy woman. There are nonpathogenic corynebacteria that constitute a significant part of the normal flora, especially on mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, urogenital tract, and in moist areas of human skin [3,4,5,6]. The participation of particular strains of nonpathogenic corynebacteria in the protection of different biotopes of the human body from infections [7, 8] has been proven.
