Objectives: Proteus mirabilis is ubiquitous in soil and water. It is an important catheter-associated urinary tract pathogen and has reportedly been associated with antimicrobial-resistant infections. This study reports the draft genome of a multidrug-resistant P. mirabilis isolated from raw retail chicken meat in Singapore. Methods: The P. mirabilis strain was isolated on Brilliance (TM) ESBL Agar and was screened for antimicrobial susceptibility against 29 antimicrobial agents using a MicroScan (R) Neg MIC Panel Type 44. The double-disk synergy test (DDST) was used for confirmation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production. Genomic DNA from the pure culture isolate was extracted and was sent for sequencing based on Illumina HiSeq 2500 technology. Further bioinformatics analysis was performed using online tools available at the Center for Genomic Epidemiology. Results: Species identification of the isolate was performed by KmerFinder. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolate showed multidrug resistance to broad-spectrum beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides, among others. ESBL production was confirmed by the DDST. A total of 29 antimicrobial resistance genes were detected by ResFinder. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the whole-genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant P. mirabilis producing an ESBL from raw chicken meat in Singapore. This indicates that raw meat in Singapore can be a reservoir for drug-resistant pathogens. (C) 2019 International Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
