## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome and plasmid sequences of a marine Enterobacter cloacae strain isolated from a chlorinated water system.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome sequence of a marine E. cloacae strain and compares it to a terrestrial pathogenic reference strain.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of marine E. cloacae BARC_01 is reported as CP183059.1.
- The plasmid sequence of the same strain is reported as CP183058.1.
- The strain shows over 98% identity to the terrestrial E. cloacae ATCC 13047 strain in amino acid and nucleotide sequences.

## Abstract

We report the complete genome (CP183059.1) and plasmid (CP183058.1) sequences of marine Enterobacter cloacae BARC_01, isolated from a chlorinated marine cooling water system. The strain has more than 98% average amino acid and average nucleotide identity to the terrestrial pathogenic reference strain E. cloacae ATCC 13047.
