We report here the incidental detection and complete genome sequence of a urinary strain harboring and resistant to colistin in a New York patient returning from Portugal in 2016. This strain, with sequence type 1485 (ST1485), was a non-extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and non-carbapenemase producer and carried the gene on an IncHI2 plasmid.
