Abstract
ABSTRACTTwo strains of Morganella morganii, AA1 and AV1, were isolated from freshwater and Eicchornia crassipes roots, respectively. Here, we report their draft genome sequences, which are ~3.6 Mb and have 51% G+C content. The predicted coding sequences (3,259 for strain AA1 and 3,345 for strain AV1) encode beta-lactamases, transpeptidases, and penicillin-binding proteins.
Highlights
Two strains of Morganella morganii, AA1 and AV1, were isolated from freshwater and Eicchornia crassipes roots, respectively
M. morganii is a normal commensal of human gut but is found in wider environments and has evolved as an opportunistic pathogen [2, 3]
Two Morganella morganii strains, AA1 and AV1, were isolated from a freshwater lake and the roots of an aquatic weed, Eicchornia crassipes, respectively. These two strains exhibit high-level resistance toward beta-lactam antibiotics, ampicillin (Ͼ1 mg/ml), and penicillin (0.5 mg/ml)
Summary
Two strains of Morganella morganii, AA1 and AV1, were isolated from freshwater and Eicchornia crassipes roots, respectively. We report their draft genome sequences, which are ~3.6 Mb and have 51% GϩC content. The predicted coding sequences (3,259 for strain AA1 and 3,345 for strain AV1) encode betalactamases, transpeptidases, and penicillin-binding proteins. Morganella morganii is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to tribe Proteeae of the family Enterobacteriaceae [1].
