Abstract

We report the complete genome sequences of four bacterial strains that were isolated from Blattella germanica (German cockroaches) that were found in three wards of the Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. Multiple antibiotic resistance genes were identified in each genome, with one genome containing multiple plasmid-encoded resistance genes.
