Abstract

Ralstonia pickettii is an emerging global opportunistic pathogen. Here, we report the 5.3-Mbp draft genome sequence of R. pickettii NCTR106, isolated from milk carton paperboard obtained from a commercial paper mill. The genome sequence carries two beta-lactamase genes similar to those reported in R. pickettii isolates collected from a hospital.
