Abstract
<jats:p>
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Bacteroides fragilis</jats:named-content>
strain Z&Z143, a metronidazole-resistant bacterium isolated from a blood culture from an Ecuadorian patient hospitalized in a medical institution in Quito, Ecuador. We describe a new variant of the
<jats:italic>nim</jats:italic>
genes, which is associated with metronidazole resistance.
