First identification and genomic features of multidrug-resistant Citrobacter freundii ST669 strain isolated from a domesticated duck in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Citrobacter freundii is a prevalent source of nosocomial infections and a well-known cause of diarrheal diseases. In recent years, it has also become increasingly resistant to various antimicrobials. In this study, we screened and characterized a multidrug-resistant (MDR) C. freundii isolate obtained from a domesticated diseased duck to better understand the genetic features, molecular epidemiology, and underlying factors linked to the antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factor genes (VFGs) of the isolate.

Methods

The C. freundii BAU_TM8 strain was isolated using culturing, staining, biochemical, polymerase chain reaction, and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight methods. The MDR properties of the strain w
