Enterobacterales draft genome sequences: 15 historical (1998-2004) and 30 contemporary (2015-2016) clinical isolates from Pakistan

The continued emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria are ever-growing threats to health and economy. Here, we report the draft genomes for 45 Enterobacterales clinical isolates, including historical and contemporary drug-resistant organisms, obtained in Pakistan between 1998 and 2016: 5 Serratia, 3 Salmonella, 3 Enterobacter, and 34 Klebsiella.

Automated summary

This study presents draft genomes of 45 Enterobacterales clinical isolates collected in Pakistan between 1998 and 2016, including drug-resistant strains. The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria pose continuous threats to health and economy.
