Data on the analysis of draft genome sequence of Raoultella ornithinolytica isolate carrying antimicrobial resistance genes, plasmid and CRISPR-Cas system

Abstract

Environmental bacterial species Raoultella ornithinolytica is an emerging pathogen becoming increasingly important in causing human infections. Thus far, the clinical isolates of this species have not exhibited multidrug resistance very often, but some reports underline the necessity for continuous monitoring of this potentially dangerous pathogen. Currently, epidemiological surveillance and antimicrobial resistance investigations of any bacterial pathogen usually rely on whole genome sequencing, which is becoming more affordable while providing increasingly important data in the recent years. However, R. ornithinolytica genomic information is scantily presented in public databases. Here, we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first whole genome sequence and corresponding raw data for a clinical R. ornithinolytica isolate from Russian Federation, which carried antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, virulence factors, one plasmid, and CRISPR-Cas system of type I-F. The data provided will facilitate epidemiological surveillance and antimicrobial resistance monitoring of this emerging pathogen.
