Abstract

Phocaeicola abscessus strain 7401987T is the sole member of the genus Phocaeicola. This bacterium is Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, coccoid to rod-shaped and motile by lophotrichous flagella. It was isolated from a human brain abscess sample. In this work, we describe a set of features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 2,530,616 bp long genome contains 2,090 protein-coding genes and 54 RNA genes, including 4 rRNA operons.

Highlights

  • Phocaeicola abscessus strain 7401987T(CSUR P22T= DSM 21584T= CCUG 55929T) is the type strain of P. abscessus. This bacterium was isolated from a brain abscess sample from a 76-year-old patient who underwent neurosurgical intervention after cancer of the face [1]

  • The 16S rRNA gene sequence of P. abscessus strain 7401987T was compared with sequences deposited in the Genbank database, confirming the initial taxonomic classification

  • Comparison with other genomes Phocaeicola abscessus is the sole bacterium included in the genus Phocaeicola

Summary

Introduction

Phocaeicola abscessus strain 7401987T(CSUR P22T= DSM 21584T= CCUG 55929T) is the type strain of P. abscessus. This bacterium was isolated from a brain abscess sample from a 76-year-old patient who underwent neurosurgical intervention after cancer of the face [1]. It is a Gramnegative strictly anaerobic coccoid to rod-shaped bacterium. The genus Phocaeicola contains only one species [2]. We present a summary classification and a set of features for P. abscessus, together with the description of the non-contiguous finished genomic sequencing and annotation
