De novo assembly of multidrug resistant biofilm forming Micrococcus luteus genome from hemodialysis tunneled cuffed catheter tips of patients undergoing renal failure treatment

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: was isolated from the hemodialysis tunneled cuffed catheter tip of renal failure patients. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed a 2,494,573 bp genome with 12 contigs, 72% GC content, and 2,240 protein-coding genes. The computational prediction of penicillin-binding proteins and biofilm-forming signaling gene cassettes may contribute to the resistance mechanisms.
