## TL;DR

This study identifies drug-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei bacteria from skin infections in India, highlighting their resistance genes and public health risks.

## Contribution

The study reveals the genomic features of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei isolates from cutaneous infections in India.

## Key findings

- Five Enterobacter hormaechei isolates were obtained from pus and wound samples in West Bengal, India.
- The isolates contain antimicrobial resistance genes in their chromosomes and predicted plasmids.

## Abstract

Here, we report five Enterobacter hormaechei isolated from pus and wound samples of skin and soft tissue infected patients from Kolkata and Malda, West Bengal, India. They were found to contain potent antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in their chromosome and predicted plasmids, which has implications for their clinical impacts on public health.
