High contiguity genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant hospital isolate of Enterobacter hormaechei

Abstract: BackgroundEnterobacter hormaechei is an important emerging pathogen and a key member of the highly diverse Enterobacter cloacae complex. E. hormaechei strains can persist and spread in nosocomial environments, and often exhibit resistance to multiple clinically important antibiotics. However, the genomic regions that harbour resistance determinants are typically highly repetitive and impossible to resolve with standard short-read sequencing technologies.ResultsHere we used both short- and long-read methods to … Show more

“…Isolate E. cloacae C15117, used in this study for the make-up of the mock community, was recently found to be most closely related to the Enterobacter hormaechei phylogenomic group C type strain DSM 16687 and therefore re-identi ed as Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. oharae 90 . For this reason, taxonomic assignment by MetaPhlAn2 attributed the reads to E. cloacae instead.…”

“…2 As one of the most frequently isolated bacteria of ECC, E. hormaechei has become an important pathogen causing human clinical infection. 30,31 Some reports exhibited that an E. hormaechei outbreak strain ever occurred nationwide in the Netherlands, 32 in addition, this bacterium also appeared in several outbreaks of sepsis, most notably in the United States and Brazil. 33 At present, it is recognized as capable of persisting in the hospital environment and developing resistance to multiple antibiotics.…”
