Whole-genome characterization and analysis of Pantoea agglomerans R6: a genomic insight into its pathogenicity and resistance as a potential opportunistic plant pathogen

Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative bacterium increasingly recognised as an opportunistic pathogen, yet the molecular basis underpinning its host-interaction capacity remains poorly understood. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing and integrative characterisation of P. agglomerans strain R6, isolated from Lactuca serriola. The 4.7 Mb draft genome (GC content 55.6%) encodes 4,349 genes, including secretion system components, siderophore clusters, adhesins, and multidrug efflux pumps. Co
