# Genomic characteristics of carbapenem-non-susceptible Cronobacter sakazakii isolated from an ICU patient at the Songkhla Hospital, Thailand

## TL;DR

This paper reports the whole-genome sequence of a drug-resistant Cronobacter sakazakii strain isolated from an ICU patient in Thailand.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genomic sequence of a carbapenem-non-susceptible C. sakazakii isolate from a clinical sample.

## Key findings

- A carbapenem-non-susceptible C. sakazakii strain was isolated from an ICU patient in Thailand.
- The whole-genome sequence of the isolate was determined for further analysis.

## Abstract

Cronobacter sakazakii is a pathogen that causes severe diseases such as meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis in infants, associated with the consumption of rehydrated powder infant formula. We report a whole-genome sequence of carbapenem-non-susceptible C. sakazakii isolated from the nasopharynx of the patient admitted to the ICU ward, Songkhla Hospital, Thailand.
