ABSTRACT
Yokenella regensburgei, an environmental organism, is an emerging pathogen in patients chiefly with immune suppression. We report the draft genome of Y. regensburgei, strain UU2206353, isolated from the urinary tract of an immunocompetent individual. The assembled genome consisted of 4,669,536 bp distributed over 20 contigs with 4,283 protein-coding genes.
ABSTRACT
We report here the draft genome sequence of two rare Salmonella serotypes, isolated from human faecal samples in India. The isolates were identified as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Ceyco and serovar Hillegersberg by Wole genome sequencing (WGS) based serotype prediction. The genomic similarity of study isolates was identified by clustering with the global collection of Salmonella sp. available in EnteroBase and SISTR based on their cgMLST profile. Phylogenetic analysis showed the study isolates were closer to S. Detmold and other unknown serovars from serogroup D2 . The information generated from genome sequencing of two rare S. enterica serovar will improve the overall understanding of the epidemiology of this clinically relevant pathogen.
ABSTRACT
The well-being of young cancer survivors is hampered due to the toxic effects of chemotherapy on the ovaries, resulting in infertility. We report a case of a 42-year-old woman with a history of bilateral ductal carcinoma of the breast who underwent radical mastectomy with chemotherapy and radiotherapy was anxious to conceive. In vitro fertilization was performed with donor oocyte; the patient became pregnant and delivered a full term baby with no congenital anomalies. As very few have a background for providing guidance and treatment in this setting, this report highlights the possibility of improving the quality of reproductive life of young survivors by various assisted reproductive techniques, the importance of fertility preservation and a multidisciplinary team approach.
