Detection by Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Novel Metallo-β-Lactamase Produced by Wautersiella falseniiCausing Urinary Tract Infection in Tunisia

Wautersiella falseniiis a rarely non-fermenting Gram-negative bacterium and belongs to the Flavobacteriaceaefamily. This nosocomial pathogen can cause several human infections, especially among immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe the whole genome sequence of a clinical W. falseniistrain isolated from a urine sample of a 35-year-old woman with a urinary tract infection in Tunisia. We investigated its phenotype and genotype.
