Draft genome sequence of carbapenem-resistant Elizabethkingia anophelisstrain BP8467 clinical isolate from India

Elizabethkingiaspp. are Gram-negative, glucose-non-fermenting bacilli that are ubiquitous in natural environments such as soil, plant and water sources. Besides environmental sources, the bacterium can be found in hospital environments, particularly medical equipment and reagents. Here we report the draft genome sequence of an Elizabethkingia anophelisisolate from a blood culture.
