Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of 27 common pathogens collected from a northern Maine hospital in 2017. These were sequenced in order to determine temporal and biogeographical patterns of antibiotic gene distribution. A total of 908 antibiotic resistance genes, 848 insertion sequence elements, and 57 plasmids were identified.
