Whole genome sequencing data of Klebsiella aerogenes isolated from agricultural soil of Haryana, India

Abstract

Klebsiella aerogenes, is a Gram-negative bacterium, which was previously known as Enterobacter aerogenes. It is present in all environments such as water, soil, air and hospitals; and is an opportunistic pathogen that causes several types of infections. As compared to other clinically important pathogens included in the ESKAPE category (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species), the pangenome and population structure of Klebsiella aerogenes is still poorly understood. For the present study, the bacterial sample was isolated from agricultural soils of Haryana, India. With an aim to identify the occurrence of multi-drug resistance genes in the agricultural field soil bacterial isolate, whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the bacteria was performed; and the antibiotic resistance causing genes, along with the genes responsible for other major functions of the cell; and the different Single Nuceotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Insertions and deletions (InDels) were identified. The data presented in this manuscript can be reused by researchers as a reference for determining the antibiotic resistance genes that could be present in different bacterial isolates, and it would also help in determination of functions of various other genes present in other genomes of Klebsiella species.
