Abstract

Myroides sp. A21, isolated from a urethral catheterized patient without symptoms of a urinary tract Infection in Germany, proved to be extensively drug resistant. Here, we report the 4.16-Mb complete genome sequence of strain A21, carrying unusual pathogenicity islands and explaining the features of multidrug resistance.
