aThe blaKPC was not present in the whole-genome assembly, but we were able to detect its presence by examining the read data (see Methods)

bStrains may have multiple predicted AmpC and/or ESBL genes. See Additional file 1: Tables S6-S7 for specific resistance determinants predicted for each isolate
