Objectives: This study describes the first draft genome sequence of a multidrug- resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli D-ST69 clinical isolate from Egypt carrying blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-244.Methods: The strain was isolated in December 2014 from a wound pus swab of a male patient in the city of Kafr El-Sheikh using MacConkey agar containing 2 μg/mL meropenem. The strain was subjected to antimicrobial ...
