Abstract
Here, we describe the draft genome sequences of three strains of Citrobacter isolated from feces of preterm neonates with suspected sepsis. Strains P106E PI and P079F I were Citrobacter freundii Strain P080C CL represents the first draft genome sequence of Citrobacter murliniae.
Highlights
Species of the genus Citrobacter are considered members of the human gut microbiota and are opportunistic pathogens in a range of nosocomial infections [1]
Strain P080C CL was assigned as a Citrobacter sp. by MetaPhlAn2.6, so its 16S rRNA gene sequence was identified within the whole-genome sequence using RNAmmer v1.2 [19] and compared against 16S rRNA gene sequences available at EzBioCloud [20]
To determine whether P080C CL represented a strain of C. murliniae, sequence reads deposited for the type strain, CIP 104556 [1], were downloaded from the Sequence Read Archive
Summary
Species of the genus Citrobacter are considered members of the human gut microbiota and are opportunistic pathogens in a range of nosocomial infections [1]. FastANI [15] was used to determine the average nucleotide identity (ANI) of the genomes against that of the type strain, NCTC 9750T, of C. freundii
