Abstract

Here, we describe the draft genome sequences of three strains of Citrobacter isolated from feces of preterm neonates with suspected sepsis. Strains P106E PI and P079F I were Citrobacter freundii Strain P080C CL represents the first draft genome sequence of Citrobacter murliniae.

(A) Antibiotic resistance determinant homologs found in the genomes of the three Citrobacter strains recovered from the feces of preterm neonates. Antibiotic Resistance Ontology (ARO) annotations were retrieved from Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) matches, with only those homologs that gave a strict match with CARD reference sequences based on CARD-recommended bit score cutoffs (gene dependent) for BLASTP analyses included in the figure (black). White, no homologous match. (B) Heatmap showing ANI values obtained with FastANI (15) for representatives of the genus Citrobacter and the three neonate strains.
