Objectives: Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) has awakened interest recently because of its increasing resistance to carbapenems codified by several genes all over the globe. Even though there are some sequence types (STs) which represent high-risk clones, there is substantial clonal diversity in the ECC. This work aimed to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS), genomic analysis, and phylogenetic studies of a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) -producing multidrug-resistant (MDR) ECC isolate from Argentina.
