This report summarizes the complete genome sequencing of Pasteurella multocida subsp. septica strain 0092, recovered from the blood culture of a patient with sepsis in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, in 2022. The publication is a genome announcement–style communication presented in Microbiology Resource Announcements and indexed in PubMed (PMID 42663470). The authors note that Pasteurella multocida is an uncommon human pathogen and that human infections are most frequently associated with animal bites or scratches.
The abstract provides the primary clinical context (sepsis, blood culture isolate) and the central genomic metric: a total genome length of 2,392,800 base pairs. The keywords listed in the abstract are “Pasteurella” and “sepsis.”
The bacterial isolate is designated strain 0092 and was obtained from a blood culture of a patient diagnosed with sepsis in Nakhon Phanom Province, Thailand, during 2022. The authors and affiliations include contributors from the Department of Medical Sciences, Ministry of Public Health (National Institute of Health), Nakhon Phanom Hospital and provincial health office, Mahidol University, and the University of Liverpool. No additional clinical information about the patient (for example, age, comorbidities, exposure history such as animal contact, clinical course, or antimicrobial therapy) is reported in the PubMed abstract.
The assembled genome of P. multocida subsp. septica strain 0092 is reported to total 2,392,800 bp. The abstract presents this aggregate genome size as the principal genomic result. The announcement does not include, within the PubMed abstract, further genomic details such as chromosome count, plasmid content, GC content, annotation summaries, specific gene or virulence factor lists, antimicrobial resistance genes, multilocus sequence type (MLST), or database accession numbers for raw reads or assembled sequence. Those data may be provided in the full text or sequence deposition records, but they are not reported in the abstract view available on PubMed.
The sequence report is published online ahead of print in Microbiology Resource Announcements (2026), listed as e0052326, with DOI 10.1128/mra.00523-26 and PubMed identifier (PMID) 42663470. The named authors include Supawee Kinnonkok, Kiatthida Tinthalang, Jenjira Rujidamp, Supphachoke Khemla, Barameht Piralam, Orapan Sripichai, and Pisut Pongchaikul. Institutional affiliations span Thailand’s Department of Medical Sciences (National Institute of Health), a regional hospital and provincial health office in Nakhon Phanom, Mahidol University, and the Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences at the University of Liverpool.
The abstract frames the work as a genomic resource: reporting the complete genome sequence for a clinical P. multocida isolate linked to sepsis. As such, its primary value to clinicians and researchers is the availability of a full genome linked to a human bloodstream infection in Thailand, which can support comparative genomics and epidemiologic investigations if sequence data and metadata are accessible via public repositories.
The PubMed abstract provides limited information and omits many details that clinicians or genomic researchers may seek. Specifically, the abstract does not report methods of DNA extraction or sequencing platforms, assembly or annotation methods, sequence accession numbers, gene content (including antimicrobial resistance genes or known virulence determinants), plasmid detection, or phylogenetic/ comparative analyses. Clinical details beyond the isolation source and diagnosis of sepsis (for example, patient demographics, exposure history, clinical outcome, or treatment) are not included in the abstract. These omissions reflect the concise nature of a genome announcement; readers should consult the full text or linked sequence records for comprehensive methods and sequence-level data.
Acknowledging the limits of the abstract, the concise report establishes the presence of a fully assembled genome of Pasteurella multocida subsp. septica from a human bloodstream infection in Thailand (2022) and provides the essential genome size metric (2,392,800 bp) and bibliographic identifiers for follow-up (DOI 10.1128/mra.00523-26; PMID 42663470).
