Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Turicella otitidis strain TD1, isolated from a central line catheter sample from a patient with a history of bowel obstruction. It contained several genetic determinants of multidrug-resistant phenotypes such as a cfrA 50S methyltransferase, two major facilitator superfamily-type drug resistance transporters, and a putative beta-lactamase.
