The Description and Analysis of the Complete Genome of Dermacoccus barathri FBCC-B549 Strain

is the first reported pathogen within the genus to cause a catheter-related bloodstream infection, which occurred in 2015. In this study, the complete genome assembly of was constructed, and the complete genome of FBCC-B549 consists of a single chromosome (3,137,745 bp) without plasmids. The constructed genome of was compared with those of two closely related species within the genus. exhibited a pattern similar to in terms of gene clusters and synteny analysis. Contrary to previous studies, biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) analysis for predicting secondary metabolites revealed the presence of the LAP biosynthesis pathway in the complete genome of , predicting the potential synthesis of the secondary metabolite plantazolicin. Furthermore, an analysis to investigate the potential pathogenicity of did not reveal any antibiotic resistance genes; however, nine virulence factors were identified in the Virulence Factor Database (VFDB). According to these matching results in the VFDB, despite identifying a few factors involved in biofilm formation, further research is required to determine the actual impact of on pathogenicity. The complete genome of is expected to serve as a valuable resource for future studies on , which currently lack sufficient genomic sequence information.
