Naja atra bites cause severe soft tissue injury and are prone to wound infections. The pathogens of Naja atra bite-wound infections are highly variable in different geographical regions. Here, we report the first coinfection with Shewanella algae and Morganella morganii from a Naja atra bite wound with resistome analysis using whole genome sequencing.
