Draft Genome Sequence Of A Multidrug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-Beta-Lactamase-1 (Ndm-1)-Producing Escherichia Coli Isolate Obtained In Singapore

We report the draft genome sequence of a New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-positive Escherichia coli isolate obtained from a surgical patient. The assembled data indicate the presence of 3 multidrug resistance plasmids, 1 of which shares 100% identity with an NDM-1 plasmid isolated previously from a nearby hospital, suggesting possible local transmission.
