Abstract
Citrobacter braakii and Citrobacter freundii are Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens associated with many infectious diseases, including septicemia, in humans and animals. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of seven C. braakii strains and one C. freundii strain isolated from Canadian wastewater treatment facilities.
Highlights
Citrobacter braakii and Citrobacter freundii, two of the 15 species in the genus Citrobacter, are Gram-negative coliform bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family
Isolates were kept at Ϫ80°C in tryptic soy broth with 25% glycerol before sequencing
Genomic DNA was extracted from overnight cultures grown at 37°C on tryptic soy agar using the DNeasy blood and tissue DNA purification kit and quantified using a Qubit 3.0 fluorometer (Life Technologies)
