Draft genome sequences of fluoroquinolone resistant Enterobacter hormaechei strains isolated from dental biofilm

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Enterobacter hormaechei is a nosocomial pathogen isolated mainly from skin wound, sputum, urine, stool, peritoneal fluid, ear discharge, and blood. Two strains of E. hormaechei exhibiting resistance to fluoroquinolone, were isolated from dental biofilm of Korean periodontitis patients, and their genomic sequences were analyzed. The genome sizes of KHUD_001 and KHUD_002 were 4,836,070 bp (G + C content: 55.36%) and 4,848,366 bp (G + C content: 55.33%), respectively. Both genomes were found to contain genes encoding multidrug efflux pump systems such as the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) and resistancenodulation cell division (RND) that are associated with resistance to antimicrobial agents.
