Abstract

We have sequenced the genome of Kurthia gibsonii strain Hakim RU_BHWE, isolated from sewage water. The assembled genome consists of 2.891 Mb with 58.6883× coverage, presenting an average GC content of 36.60%. This genome includes 8 CRISPR arrays, 3 prophages, 3 antibiotic resistance genes, and 12 virulence factor genes.

Keywords: Bangladesh; Kurthia gibsonii; multidrug-resistant; sewage water; whole genome.
