Genomic features of a multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae ST279 producing CTX-M-15 and AAC(6′)-Ib-cr isolated from fatal infectious stomatitis in a crossed pit viper (Bothrops alternatus)

The widespread dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has become a major issue in veterinary medicine. However, until now, there has been no report of bacteria with such a phenotype in infected snakes. The aim of this study was to report the first draft genome sequence of an Enterobacter cloacae isolate (SERP1) recovered from a snake with infectious stomatitis. The whole genome of E. cloacae strain SERP1 was...
