Abstract

We present a novel pathogenic and multidrug-resistant Kytococcus sedentarius isolated from Labeo rohita. The bacterium belongs to the Micrococcales order and has a genome consisting of 2.59 Mb in length and 71.7% GC content. K. sedentarius contains 2,393 coding gene sequences, 6 rRNA, 51 tRNA, 1 tmRNA, and 2,173 antimicrobial resistance genes.

Keywords: Kytococcus sedentarius; Labeo rohita; multidrug-resistant; pathogenic; whole genome.
