Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC-1) of sequence type (ST2083) isolated from a urine sample of a 2-year-old female toddler carrying antimicrobial resistance genes blaNDM-5 and blaCMY-42 which displays resistance against multiple classes of antibiotics notably β-lactam antibiotics, cephalosporins, and carbapenem and codes for several virulence factors.

Keywords: CMY-42; CREC-1; Escherichia coli; NDM-5; ST2083; carbapenem resistant.
