Draft genome sequences of nonclinical and clinical Enterobacter cloacae isolates exhibiting multiple antibiotic resistance and virulence factors

Abstract

Enterobacter spp. have been implicated as opportunistic pathogens which over the years have gained resistance toward most of the available therapeutic drugs. We sequenced two multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates harboring multiple efflux pump genes. These isolates exhibited strain-specific modulation of efflux pump protein expression.
