Abstract

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, AmpC, and carbapenemase-producing bacteria were isolated from raw sewage, effluent, oxidation pond water, and sediment from a wastewater treatment plant in Aotearoa New Zealand. Here, we report the assemblies of 17 isolates belonging to the species Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas hydrophila, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter soli, Lelliottia amnigena, Aeromonas caviae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas moraviensis, Pseudomonas putida, and Kluyvera ascorbata.
