Whole-genome sequence of a blaOXA-48-harboring Raoultella ornithinolytica clinical isolate from Lebanon

Abstract

We analyzed the whole-genome sequence of a blaOXA 48-harboring Raoultella ornithinolytica clinical isolate from a patient in Lebanon. The size of the Raoultella ornithinolytica CMUL058 genome was 5,622,862 bp, with a G+C content of 55.7%. We deciphered all the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, and we compared our genome to other available R. ornithinolytica genomes in GenBank. The resistome consisted of 9 antibiotic resistance genes, including a plasmidic blaOXA48 gene whose genetic organization is also described.
