Draft genome sequence of Enterobacter chengduensis ECC445, isolated from fresh water in the West Indies

Abstract

Objectives: The Enterobacter cloacae complex is considered an important opportunistic pathogen. It comprises many members that remain difficult to delineate by phenotypic approaches. Despite its importance in human infection, there is a lack of information on associated members in other compartments. Here we report the first de novo assembled and annotated whole-genome sequence of a E. chengduensis strain isolated from the environment.

Data description: ECC445 specimen was isolated in 2018 from a drinking water catchment point in Guadeloupe. It was clearly related to E. chengduensis species according to hsp60 typing and genomic comparison. Its whole-genome sequence is 5,211,280-bp long divided into 68 contigs, and presents a G + C content of 55.78%. This genome and associated datasets provided here will serve as a useful resource for further analyses of this rarely reported Enterobacter species.

Keywords: CRISPR spacer; Caribbean; Enterobacter cloacae complex; Environment; Phylogeny; Typing; hsp60.
