Complete Genome Assembly of a Multidrug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase 1 (NDM-1)-Producing Escherichia coli Human Isolate from a New Zealand Hospital.

ABSTRACT: We report the complete genome of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain isolated from a New Zealand patient with a history of hospitalization in India. The strain, carrying eight plasmids, harbors chromosome-encoded nfsA and nfsB mutations, which cause nitrofuran resistance, and class C β-lactamase (blaEC) and plasmid-encoded blaNDM-1, blaCTX-M-15, and blaCMY-6, as well as other antibiotic resistance genes.
