Draft genome sequences of two Stenotrophomonas sp. isolates obtained from the venom of the tarantula Stichoplastoris elusinus (Araneae: Theraphosidae)

Genome sequences of two Stenotrophomonas sp. strains are reported. Isolates were obtained from the venom of the tarantula Stichoplastoris elusinus (Araneae: Theraphosidae) and are closely related to the recently described Stenotrophomonas muris. The announcement highlights the presence of multiple antibiotic resistance genes and their relevance to veterinary and human health.
