Genomic Data on Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria from Clinical Settings in Anhui Province

Anhui Province, China, is the source for this genomic analysis of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Serratia marcescens. The dataset, authored by Muhammad Fazal Hameed and last updated in May 2026, details specific resistance genes, plasmid types, and sequence types for several bacterial strains. It is a small dataset of 149.8 KB, available in DOCX and XLSX formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Tracking the co-occurrence of resistance genes like mcr-1.1 and blaTEM-141 based on the detailed gene profiles provided.
• Analyzing plasmid diversity and spread based on the IncI2, IncHI2, IncFII, and IncR plasmid types mentioned.
• Studying the genomic background of high-risk clones like ST1011 E. coli and ST15/ST11 K. pneumoniae based on the described sequence types.
• Investigating the regional spread of key resistance mechanisms like blaKPC-2 in different bacterial species as highlighted in the findings.

Strengths

• Provides specific, named resistance determinants (e.g., mcr-1.1, blaKPC-2, qnrS1) and plasmid types (e.g., IncHI2, IncFII) for each described strain.
• Includes detailed multilocus sequence typing (ST) and ribosomal sequence typing (rST) information for the bacterial isolates.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale statistical analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 149.8 KB, indicating a limited scope likely focused on a few specific bacterial isolates.
