Genome Sequence of Afipia felis Strain 76713, Isolated in Hospital Water Using an Amoeba Co-Culture Procedure

Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD). We sequenced the genome from a strain of A. felis, which was recovered from a hospital water sample using an amoebal co-culture procedure. It is composed of 3,989,646 bp, with a G+C c...

Description
Summary:Afipia felis is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium originally described as the agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD). We sequenced the genome from a strain of A. felis, which was recovered from a hospital water sample using an amoebal co-culture procedure. It is composed of 3,989,646 bp, with a G+C content of 61.27% and encodes 4,068 protein-coding genes and 53 RNA genes.
