# Draft genomic sequences of a rare environmental pathogen, Comamonas kerstersii, from immunocompromised patients with acute gastroenteritis

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequences of a rare bacteria found in patients with weakened immune systems and stomach infections.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for Comamonas kerstersii isolated from immunocompromised patients with acute gastroenteritis.

## Key findings

- Genomic sequences of five C. kerstersii isolates were obtained from patients with acute gastroenteritis.
- The isolates were from immunocompromised individuals, suggesting a potential pathogenic role of C. kerstersii in such cases.

## Abstract

Comamonas kerstersii is a ubiquitous, aerobic, motile gram-negative bacteria considered commensal but has played a significant role as a potential pathogen causing clinical infections. Here, we report the genomic sequences of five C. kerstersii isolated from immunocompromised patients with acute gastroenteritis.
