Draft Genome Sequence of NDM-5-Producing Escherichia coli Sequence Type 648 and Genetic Context of blaNDM-5 in Australia

ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli sequence type 648 (ST648) possessing bla NDM-5 from a 55-year-old female in Australia with a history of travel to India. The plasmid-mediated bla NDM-5 was in a genetic context nearly identical to that of the GenBank entry of an IncX3 bla NDM-5 plasmid previously reported from India (Klebsiella pneumoniae MGR-K194).
