Abstract

Escherichia coli KA0011 had stable minimum inhibitory concentration values around the breakpoint range of meropenem and imipenem, making it suitable for use as a quality control strain for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Here, we report the complete genomic sequence of KA0011.

Keywords: carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales; genome analysis.
