Francisella philomiragia is a saprophytic gammaproteobacterium found only occasionally in immunocompromised individuals and is the nearest neighbor to the causative agent of tularemia and category A select agent Francisella tularensis. To shed insight into the key genetic differences and the evolution of these two distinct lineages, we sequenced the first complete genome of F. philomiragia strain ATCC 25017, which was isolated as a free-living microorganism from water in Bear River Refuge, Utah.
弗朗西斯菌属是一种腐生的γ变形菌,仅偶尔在免疫功能低下的个体中发现,与土拉热弗朗西斯菌(造成土拉热的病原体)和 A 类选择性制剂弗朗西斯菌属(一种病原体)关系最为密切。为了深入了解这两个截然不同谱系的关键遗传差异和进化,我们对从犹他州贝尔河避难所水中分离出来的自由生活微生物弗朗西斯菌属菌株 ATCC 25017 进行了全基因组测序,这是该菌的首个完整基因组。
