Draft Genome Sequences of Cefepime-Resistant and -Susceptible Escherichia coli Strains and Imipenem-Resistant and -Susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains.

Draft genome sequences of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains collected from clinical infections were used to determine the prevalence of newly emerging antibiotic resistance genes in Maine. Comparisons between cefepime-resistant and -susceptible E. coli strains and imipenem-resistant and -susceptible P. aeruginosa strains are being conducted.
