# Emergence of multidrug-resistant Pandoraea sputorum in Japan

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Pandoraea sputorum bacterium isolated from a patient in Japan.

## Contribution

The study provides the whole-genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Pandoraea sputorum strain.

## Key findings

- The genome of Pandoraea sputorum shows high-level multidrug resistance.
- The strain was isolated from a hospitalized patient in Japan.

## Abstract

Pandoraea is a pathogenic bacterium naturally resistant to various antimicrobials, including colistin. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Pandoraea sputorum, which exhibits high-level multidrug resistance, isolated from a hospitalized patient in Japan.
