ABSTRACT Nanopore sequencing has shown the potential to democratize genomic pathogen surveillance due its ease of use and low entry cost. However, recent genotyping studies showed discrepant results compared gold-standard short-read sequencing. Furthermore, although essential for widespread application, reproducibility nanopore-only remains largely unresolved. In our multicenter performance study involving five laboratories, four public health-relevant bacterial species were sequenced with...
Introduction Listeria monocytogenes is an ubiquitous foodborne pathogen that represents a serious threat to public health and the food industry. Methods In this study Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) was used characterize 160 L. isolates obtained from 22,593 different sources in Montenegro during years 2014–2022. Results Isolates belonged 21 clonal complexes (CCs), 22 sequence types (STs) 73 core genome multilocus (cgMLST) revealing high diversity. The most prevalent STs were ST8 ( n = 29), ST9...
A novel, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe, coccoid and non-motile bacterium, designated as CoE-012-22 T was isolated from dried beef sausage (the original name in Montenegro is Govedji Kulen) manufactured the municipality of Rozaje (Montenegro) 2021. Cells this strain were oxidase- catalase-negative. Growth occurred at 4–50 °C, pH 5.0–8.0 with 0–6.5 % (w/v) NaCl diverse growth media. MALDI-TOF analysis identified Enterococcus canintestini (log score 2). Phylogenetic 16S rRNA gene whole...
Aeromonas dhakensis is the most virulent species pathogenic to both animals and humans. The degree of its risk health seems masked by misidentifications. We present genome sequence A. Igbk (sequence type 1171), associated with snails, harboring OXA-726 gene in chromosome.
Enterococcus dispar was isolated for the first time from synovial fluid and stool cultures described as a new species in 1991. Here, we report genome of E. CoE-457-22, which obtained traditionally produced Montenegrin dry sausage (sudzuk).
ABSTRACT Microbacterium plantarum ( M. ) was recently described as a new species isolated from copper globemallow Sphaeralcea angustifolia ). Here, we report the complete genome of CoE-159-22, which obtained traditionally produced Montenegrin cheese.
ABSTRACT Pasteurella multocida ( P. ) plays an important role in bovine respiratory diseases. Here we describe the complete genome of a multiresistant . The strain was isolated from lung diseased, 4-month old, male Fleckvieh calf with clinical history bronchopneumonia Upper Austria.
spp. poses a significant threat to human and animal health due their capacity cause wide range of infections in both. In this study, resistance genes conferring antibiotic

Introduction Enterococcus faecium is a widespread acid-lactic bacterium found in the environment, humans, and animal microbiota, it also plays role production of traditional food. However, worldwide emergence multidrug-resistant E. strains represents major public health threat primary reason that genus not recommended for Qualified Presumption Safety (QPS) list European Food Authority (EFSA), raising concerns about its presence food products. Methods In this study, 39 5 lactis isolates were...
ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome of Bordetella parapertussis strain 400431-b isolated from a nasopharyngeal swab 4-year-old patient presenting with protracted course whooping cough, vaccinated three doses diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-poliomyelitis- Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine.
