## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of a Morganella morganii strain from a chronic wound, highlighting its antibiotic resistance genes.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome and resistance gene profile of an emerging pathogen from a clinical wound sample.

## Key findings

- The genome includes a 3.87 Mb chromosome and a 9.6 kb plasmid.
- Both genome components contain multiple antibiotic resistance genes.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence and antimicrobial resistance gene profile of Morganella morganii strain PS00513. This strain was isolated from a chronic surgical wound infection of an adult male patient. The chromosome is 3.87 Mb long and accompanied by a 9.6 kb plasmid, which both contain multiple antibiotic resistance genes.
