Complete genome sequences of two verona integron-encoded metallo-ß-lactamase (VIM)-producing enterobacterales isolated from dogs in the United States

This announcement reports the complete genome sequences, created by combined Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, of two carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (Escherichia coli [LaAc-1-20] and Enterobacter hormaechei, strain 19632-21) isolated from dogs in the United States. Both isolates harbor a blaVIM-4 gene found on a 47 kb plasmid and on the bacterial chromosome, respectively.
