Abstract

Aeromonas dhakensis is highly virulent but often misidentified in clinical settings. The entire genome sequence of a metallo-β-lactamase-producing A. dhakensis strain from a clinical specimen has been presented in this study. The genome comprised a single chromosome of 4.89 Mbp with 61.6% G + C content.

Keywords: Aeromonas; metallo-β-lactamase.
