American Society for Microbiology, Genome Announcements. 5(17):e00250-17. https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00250-17. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00250-17 Interpretive Summary: This is the first announcement of the sequencing and assembly of the bacterial genome of a Providencia stuartii isolated from the salivary glands of the blow fly, Lucilia sericata. This fly is a prominent species in decomposition ecology and important to agricultural, medical and forensic science. This bacterial strain has been shown, in our laboratory, to be an attractant to a blow fly species, as well as having influencing on fly behavior and life history. It was found as a coinfection with Proteus mirabilis strain WOOD. Technical Abstract: We present the draft genome sequence of a Providencia stuartii strain derived from salivary glands of larval Lucilia sericata; a common blow fly important to forensic, medical and veterinary science. The genome sequence will help dissect coinfections involving Providencia stuartii and Proteus mirabilis, as well as blow fly-bacteria interactions. |
