Whole-genome sequencing of historical IMP-producing Gram-negative bacterial isolates from Japan
This project aims to investigate the genomic characteristics and evolutionary history of early IMP-producing Gram-negative bacterial isolates collected in Japan. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using Illumina short-read and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing, followed by hybrid genome assembly. The dataset includes clinical isolates of multiple Gram-negative bacterial species carrying the blaIMP gene and provides genome assemblies and raw sequencing data for comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses of antimicrobial resistance and mobile genetic elements.
