# Draft genome sequence of a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA1, a clinical isolate from Bangladesh

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of a drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain from Bangladesh, highlighting its resistance and virulence genes.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the genome sequencing and characterization of a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain from a clinical isolate in Bangladesh.

## Key findings

- The PA1 strain has a 6.4 Mbp draft genome with multiple virulence and antibiotic-resistance genes.
- PA1 belongs to ST1650 and shares >99.1% ANI with the reference strain PAO1.

## Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA1, a multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that was isolated from Dhaka, Bangladesh, has a 6.4 Mbp draft genome. The key features include the presence of multiple virulence genes and a number of antibiotic-resistance genes. PA1 belongs to ST1650, with >99.1% ANI to PAO1.
