# Draft genomes of meropenem-resistant Pseudomonads from the cloacae of turtles in Lake Opinicon, Canada

## TL;DR

This study reports the draft genomes of seven meropenem-resistant bacteria found in turtles from Lake Opinicon, Canada, shedding light on antibiotic resistance in wild animals.

## Contribution

The paper provides new draft genome sequences of meropenem-resistant Pseudomonads from wild turtles.

## Key findings

- Seven meropenem-resistant bacterial isolates were identified in turtle cloacae.
- The isolates were collected from painted and musk turtles in Lake Opinicon, Canada.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of seven meropenem-resistant bacterial isolates from the cloacae of painted and musk turtles at Lake Opinicon, Canada. This study improves our understanding of the spread of meropenem-resistant bacteria in the wild.
