Leclercia adecarboxylata strain:16342 | isolate:16342 Genome sequencing and assembly. Leclercia adecarboxylata strain:16342 | isolate:16342

Leclercia adecarboxylata is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen of the Enterobacteriaceae family that is found with global distribution in a variety of foods, water, and animals and exists as a commensal organism in the gut . This bacterial species has been associated with bacteremia and wound infections, as well as peritonitis, pneumonia, and other infections.Although L. adecarboxylata is usually susceptible to antimicrobials, isolates have been reported with resistance to cephalosporins due to the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Additionally, carbapenem-resistant L. adecarboxylata isolates harboring the blaNDM gene have been reported.
