is one of the most common agents of foodborne bacterial illness with poultry being an important reservoir. The indiscriminate use of antimicrobial compounds in poultry farming increasingly leads to antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) which threatens the health of both animals and humans. Antimicrobial-resistant from the poultry can spread to human through the direct contact with infected poultry or fecal contaminated environments. Antimicrobial-resistant especially fluoroquinolone-resistant nontyphoidal is in the list of global health concern stated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Here we report the whole-genome sequencing data and de novo genome assemble of antimicrobial-resistant strains S8 and S9 from the carcass collected in Vietnam. Genomic DNA of were extracted and subjected to whole-genome sequencing using Illumina MiSeq platform. The genome size of antimicrobial-resistant strain S8 is 4,707,459 bp with a GC-content of 52.38%, containing 10 antimicrobial resistant genes. The genome size of antimicrobial-resistant strain S9 is 4,923,944 bp with a GC-content of 52,39%, containing 10 antimicrobial resistance genes. Our data provided the insights on antimicrobial resistant genes of isolates from the carcass, which help to understand the infection mechanism of antimicrobial-resistant in human.
