Abstract
ABSTRACTWe present draft whole-genome sequences of seven Streptococcus agalactiae strains isolated from Camelus dromedarius in Kenya and Somalia. These data are an extension to the group B Streptococcus (GBS) pangenome and might provide more insight into the underlying mechanisms of pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance of camel GBS.
Highlights
The natural colonizer of human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts Streptococcus agalactiae, known as Lancefield’s group B Streptococcus (GBS), is an emerging pathogen of serious clinical concern [1]
DNA was fragmented by ultrasonication using the Covaris S2 instrument (Covaris, Inc., Woburn, MA, USA)
Barcoded libraries were generated with the Ion fragment library kit and Ion Xpress DNA barcode adaptors (Life Technologies, Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA)
Summary
The natural colonizer of human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts Streptococcus agalactiae, known as Lancefield’s group B Streptococcus (GBS), is an emerging pathogen of serious clinical concern [1]. Genomic DNA was extracted from a single bacterial colony cultivated on Columbia sheep blood agar using the QIAamp DSP DNA minikit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). DNA was fragmented by ultrasonication using the Covaris S2 instrument (Covaris, Inc., Woburn, MA, USA).
