Abstract
Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD). We sequenced the genome from a strain of A. felis, which was recovered from a hospital water sample using an amoebal co-culture procedure. It is composed of 3,989,646 bp, with a G+C content of 61.27% and encodes 4,068 protein-coding genes and 53 RNA genes.
Highlights
Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD)
Afipia felis was first isolated from lymph nodes of patients with cat scratch disease (CSD) and was later seen as a cell contaminant [1, 2]
A. felis 76713 was isolated in hospital water using an amoebal co-culture procedure in peptone yeast-extract glucose (PYG) medium [2]
Summary
Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD). Afipia felis was first isolated from lymph nodes of patients with cat scratch disease (CSD) and was later seen as a cell contaminant [1, 2]. The genus Afipia has been isolated from various types of patients, from an environmental water source, and from infected amoeba. A. felis 76713 was isolated in hospital water using an amoebal co-culture procedure in peptone yeast-extract glucose (PYG) medium [2].
