Abstract
IntroductionRalstonia mannitolilytica is an global opportunistic pathogen responsible for various diseases. In this study, we reported the genome of a R. mannitolilytica isolate responsible for bacteremia in an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). MethodsBacterial identification was performed with a Vitek2™ Automated System and 16S rRNA sequencing with BLASTn against the Non-Redundant Protein Sequence (Nr) database. Genome sequencing and analysis were performed using PacBio RS II sequencer, Hierarchical Genome Assembly Process assembly, as well as multiple annotation databases to better understand the innate features. Antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors were specifically identified through Antibiotic Resistance Genes database and Virulence Factors of Pathogenic Bacteria databases. ResultsThe complete genome sequence was assembled into two chromosomes with 3,495,817 bp and 1,342,871 bp in length and GC% of 65.37 % and 66.43 %, respectively. The two chromosomes were fully annotated. In chromosome 1 and 2, 19 and 14 antibiotic resistant genes and 48 and 55 virulence factors were predicted, respectively. Specifically, beta-lactam resistance genes blaOXA-443, blaOXA-444 were acquired. ConclusionsThis study aids in the understanding of the innate features of R. mannitolilytica in AECOPD.
