Genomic and proteomic characterization of vB_SauM-UFV_DC4, a novel Staphylococc...
da Silva, Jéssica Duarte; Melo, Luís Daniel Rodrigues; Santos, Sílvio Roberto Branco; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Xisto, Mariana Fonseca; Dias, Roberto SousaStaphylococcus aureus is one of the most relevant mastitis pathogens in dairy cattle, and the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance genes presents a significant health issue in both veterinary and human fields. Among the different strategies to tackle S. aureus infection in livestock, bacteriophages have been thoroughly investigated in the last decades; however, few specimens of the so-called jumbo phages cap...
Genome sequence and characterization of Streptomyces phage Pablito, representin...
Ongenae, Veronique; Azeredo, Joana; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Rozen, Daniel; Briegel, Ariane; Claessen, DennisStreptomycetes are ubiquitous soil bacteria. Here we report the complete and annotated genome sequence and characterization of Streptomyces phage Pablito, isolated from a soil sample in Haarlem, the Netherlands using Streptomyces lividans as host. This phage was able to infect a diverse range of Streptomyces strains, but none belonging to the sister genus Kitasatospora. Phage Pablito has double-stranded DNA wit...
Genomic comparisons and phylogenetic analysis of mastitis-related staphylococci...
Pizauro, Lucas José Luduverio [UNESP]; de Almeida, Camila Chioda [UNESP]; Silva, Saura Rodrigues [UNESP]; MacInnes, Janet I.; Kropinski, Andrew M.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:44:01Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-12-01; Mastitis is a common and costly disease on dairy farms, commonly caused by Staphylococcus spp. though the various species are associated with different clinical outcomes. In the current study, we performed genomic analyses to determine the prevalence of adhesion, biofilm, and related regulatory genes in...
Complete Genome Sequences of 11 Staphylococcus sp. Strains Isolated from Buffal...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Here, we present data on the complete genome sequences of 11 Staphylococcus sp. isolates (three S. chromogenes isolates and one isolate each of S. saprophyticus, S. xylosus, S. hominis, S. agnetis, S. caprae, S. aureus, and S. warnern,...
Strengthening the interaction of the virology community with the International ...
Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Calisher, Charles H.; Briese, Thomas; Brister, J. Rodney; Charrel, Rémi N.; Dürrwald, Ralf; Ebihara, HidekiThe International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is tasked with classifying viruses into taxa (phyla to species) and devising taxon names. Virus names and virus name abbreviations are currently not within the ICTV’s official remit and are not regulated by an official entity. Many scientists, medical/veterinary professionals, and regulatory agencies do not address evolutionary questions nor are they con...
Changes to taxonomy and the International Code of Virus Classification and Nome...
Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; King, Andrew M. Q.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; Mushegian, Arcady R.; Adams, Michael J.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Gorbalenya, Alexander E.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in February 2018. A total of 451 species, 69 genera, 11 subfamilies, 9 families and one new order were added to the taxonomy. The current totals at each taxonomic level now stand at 9 orders, 131 families, 46 subfamilies, 803 genera and 4853 species. A change was made to the International...

Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Adams, Michael J.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; King, Andrew M. Q.; Harrach, Balázs; Harrison, Robert L.; Knowles, Nick J.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in April 2016.Changes to virus taxonomy (the Universal Scheme of Virus Classification of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses [ICTV]) now take place annually and are the result of a multi-stage process. In accordance with the ICTV Statutes (http://www.ictvonline.org/s...
50 years of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses: progress and pr...
Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Adams, Michael J.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; King, Andrew M. Q.; Harrach, Balázs; Harrison, Robert L.; Knowles, Nick J.We mark the 50th anniversary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by presenting a brief history of the organization since its foundation, showing how it has adapted to advancements in our knowledge of virus diversity and the methods used to characterize it. We also outline recent developments, supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust (UK), that are facilitating substantial changes in...
Taxonomy of prokaryotic viruses: 2017 update from the ICTV Bacterial and Archae...
Alfenas‐Zerbini, Poliane; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Wittmann, Johannes; Kuhn, Jens H.; Turner, Dann; Sullivan, Matthew B.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Jang, Ho BinThe prokaryotic virus community is represented at the Inter- national Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by the Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee. Since our last report [5], the committee composition has changed, and a large number of taxonomic proposals (TaxoProps) were submitted to the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) for approval
