Abstract
- Shewanella algae is an emerging pathogen widely distributed in aquatic environment. Bacteremia is a major manifestation of S. algae infections, and there are increasing reports of antibiotic-resistant strains. However, little is known about the genomic characteristics of human bacteremic S. algae. Here, we report the results of the whole-genome sequencing of colistin-resistant S. algae TYL, a blood isolate. Chromosome-encoded pmrC associated with colistin resistance and bla<subscript>OXA-55</subscript> gene intrinsic to S. algae was identified. Continuous surveillance for the emergence of S. algae is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
