The aim of this study was to characterise a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Citrobacter freundii strain carrying a blaNDM-1-harbouring conjugative IncA/C2-type plasmid in China. The whole genome of C. freundii strain L75 was sequenced both on HiSeq® (Novogene Corp., China) and GridION X5 (GrandOmics Biosc...
