Abstract

Pandoraea is a pathogenic bacterium naturally resistant to various antimicrobials, including colistin. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Pandoraea sputorum, which exhibits high-level multidrug resistance, isolated from a hospitalized patient in Japan.

Keywords: Pandoraea sputorum; antimicrobial resistance; carbapenemase; multidrug resistance.
