Draft Genome Sequence of a bla NDM-1 - and bla PME-1 -Harboring Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolate from Pakistan

Abstract

We performed Illumina whole-genome sequencing on a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient with chronic airway colonization. The draft genome comprises 6,770,411 bp, including the carbapenemase bla NDM-1 and the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase bla PME-1 . We performed Illumina whole-genome sequencing on a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient with chronic airway colonization. The draft genome comprises 6,770,411 bp, including the carbapenemase bla NDM-1 and the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase bla PME-1 . This isolate harbors 3 prophages, 14 antibiotic resistance genes, and 257 virulence genes.
