Complete genome of bla CTX-M-65-carrying Salmonella Infantis strain Z1323CSL0015 isolated from broiler chicken.

Salmonella Infantis strain Z1323CSL0015 was isolated from broiler chickens in Korea. The complete genome of the strain was obtained from the hybrid assembly of sequences generated using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing platforms. It contains one circular chromosome (4,726,490 bp with a guanine + cytosine (GC) content of 52.3%) and one circular plasmid, pZ1323CSL0015 (310,238 bp with 50.4% GC content). A total of 5,087 protein coding sequences, 22 rRNA genes, and 83 tRNA genes were identified based on the annotation results. The large plasmid contained resistance genes against various antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, trimethoprim, sulfonamide, and tetracycline.
