Draft Genome Sequence of a Metronidazole-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Strain Isolated in Ecuador

Resumen

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> strain Z&Z143, a metronidazole-resistant bacterium isolated from a blood culture from an Ecuadorian patient hospitalized in a medical institution in Quito, Ecuador. We describe a new variant of the <i>nim</i> genes, which is associated with metronidazole resistance.
