Illumina short read-based shotgun metagenomic data sets of simulated bacterial communities derived from fresh spinach and surface water

TL;DR

This paper presents simulated Illumina short-read metagenomic datasets from bacterial communities in fresh spinach and surface water.

Contribution

The novelty lies in generating in silico datasets with multidrug-resistant bacteria for metagenomic analysis.

Findings

Datasets were generated at various sequencing depths using different Illumina platforms.

The spinach community included multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Indiana.

The water community contained multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

Paired-end short reads of Illumina HiSeq, MiSeq, and NovaSeq of simulated bacterial communities from fresh spinach and surface water were generated in silico at various sequencing depths. Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Indiana was included in the spinach community, while the water community contained multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
