Elizabethkingia anophelis strain:EABL9 | isolate:EABL9 Genome sequencing. Elizabethkingia anophelis strain:EABL9 | isolate:EABL9

The study focuses on the emergence of antibiotic resistance in the environment, particularly lake water. Elizabethkingia anophelis, isolate EABL9, is isolated from an environmental lake water sample. It is a multidrug-resistant isolate with a biofilm-forming ability. Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging antibiotic-resistant opportunistic pathogen that causes severe nosocomial and community-acquired infections. The dissemination of resistant bacteria in the environment poses a public health concern; therefore, surveilling the resistance pattern and the spread in the environment is crucial, as the water environment can serve as a reservoir for the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
