Genome sequencing and annotation of Aeromonas veronii strain Ae52, a multidrug-resistant isolate from septicaemic gold fish (Carassius auratus) in Sri Lanka
Abstract
Here we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of A. veronii strain Ae52 isolated from the kidney of a morbund, septicaemic gold fish (Carassius auratus) in Sri Lanka. This clinical isolate showed resistance to multiple antimicrobials; amoxicillin, neomycin, trimethoprim-sulphonamide, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, erythromycin and nitrofurantoin. The size of the draft genome is 4.56 Mbp with 58.66% of G + C content consisting 4328 coding sequences. It harbors a repertoire of putative antibiotic resistant determinants that explains the genetic basis of its resistance to various classes of antibiotics. The genome sequence has been deposited in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession numbers BDGY01000001-BDGY01000080.
