Abstract
Genome Sequencing of Pathogenic<i>Rhodococcus</i>spp.
Highlights
A 73-year-old immunocompetent man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who lived on a ranch in the southwestern United States was evaluated for possible malignancy of the left lung
Alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that R1101 was most closely related to R. rhodochrous, with identities of 98.78%, 99.32%, and 99.86% to the 16S rRNA gene for type strains R. rhodochrous DSM43271, R. pyridinivorans PDB9, and R. gordonae W4937 [7], respectively
Phylogenetic analysis with Rhodococcus 16S rRNA genes suggested that R1101 was a member of R. rhodochrous and evolutionarily separate from R. equi (Figure, panel A)
Summary
A 73-year-old immunocompetent man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who lived on a ranch in the southwestern United States was evaluated for possible malignancy of the left lung. Alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that R1101 was most closely related to R. rhodochrous, with identities of 98.78%, 99.32%, and 99.86% to the 16S rRNA gene for type strains R. rhodochrous DSM43271, R. pyridinivorans PDB9, and R. gordonae W4937 [7], respectively. Sequence identity with R. equi type strain DSM20307 was 95.57%. Phylogenetic analysis with Rhodococcus 16S rRNA genes suggested that R1101 was a member of R. rhodochrous and evolutionarily separate from R. equi (Figure, panel A).
