Whole genome sequence data of the multidrug-resistant -MN029, a model bacterial strain for the evaluation of antibacterial activity from selected native plant extracts.

Antimicrobial resistance remains a significant global and One Health threat, owing to the diminishing effectiveness of antibiotics against rapidly evolving multidrug-resistant bacteria, and the limited innovative research towards the development of new antibiotic therapeutics. In this article, we present the whole-genome sequence data of -MN029 obtained from highly accurate long-read PacBio HiFi technology. The antibacterial activities of the selected African native plant species were also evaluated using the disk diffusion method.
