Abstract

Vibrio cholerae poses a serious hazard to global health and causes cholera disease in humans. Here, we present the full-genome sequence of a pandrug-resistant V. cholerae strain KBR06 isolated from a cholera patient in Bangladesh that exhibited intermediate resistance to only two antibiotics out of 39 among 14 antibiotic categories.

Keywords: Bangladesh; Dhaka; Vibrio cholerae; antibiotics; cholera; pandrug resistant; whole-genome sequencing.
