Abstract

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious threat worldwide causing health care-acquired infections and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This report describes the draft genome sequences of five multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from human infections.
