Draft Genome Sequence of the Multidrug-Resistant Citrobacter freundii 132-2 Strain Isolated from a Domestic Duck in Bangladesh

Abstract

We sequenced a multidrug-resistant strain of Citrobacter freundii , 132-2, isolated from a cloacal swab sample of a domestic duck. The whole genome of the C. freundii 132-2 strain had a length of 5,097,592 bp, 62 contigs, two plasmids, and an average G+C content of 51.85%, with a 105.0× genome coverage.

Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Citrobacter freundii MTR_GS_V1777 strain isolated from a spinach ( Spinacia oleracea ) sample in Gazipur, Bangladesh

“…Citrobacter species are among the bacteria that have been found in vegetables ( 2 ). The widespread and improper use of antimicrobial agents has led to the rise of antimicrobial resistance and multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria, including Citrobacter species ( 3 , 4 ).…”

Draft genome sequence of biofilm-forming methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MTR_V1 strain isolated from a ready-to-eat food in Bangladesh

“…Excessive antibiotic use has caused antibiotic resistance, resulting in diverse multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains that pose a significant global health risk ( 1 , 2 ). The development of resistance and biofilm in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains presents a severe threat to human health ( 3 , 4 ).…”

Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Citrobacter portucalensis BAU_133-2 strain isolated from a domestic duck ( Anas platyrhynchos domesticus ) in Bangladesh

“…The widespread and improper utilization of antimicrobial agents has led to the rise of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria, giving rise to numerous multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, which have now become a significant worldwide public health issue ( 1 , 2 ). Ducks possess the capability to carry antimicrobial-resistant and MDR pathogens that may be transmitted to humans through their interactions with them ( 1 , 3 ). C. portucalensis shows the potential to emerge as a critically important bacteria of global significance for both public health and One Health ( 4 ).…”
