Draft Genome Sequence of Serratia fonticola UTAD54, a Carbapenem-Resistant Strain Isolated from Drinking Water

Genome Announc. 2013 Nov 27;1(6):e00970-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00970-13.

Abstract

Serratia fonticola UTAD54 is an environmental isolate that is resistant to carbapenems due to the presence of a class A carbapenemase and a metallo-β-lactamase that are unique to this strain. Its draft genome sequence was obtained to clarify the molecular basis of its carbapenem resistance and identify the genomic context of its carbapenem resistance determinants.
