Abstract

Aeromonas taiwanensis was first described in 2010 on the basis of one clinical wound isolate (strain LMG 24683(T) = A2-50(T) = CECT 7403(T)) from Taiwan. We present here the genome sequence of A. taiwanensis LMG 24683(T), which carries several genes encoding virulence determinants and Ambler class C and D β-lactamases.
