Imported foods play an essential role in food security and in fulfilling consumer demand. However, these foods can also carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which might be introduced into the country of importation. Here, we report the draft genomes of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that were isolated from imported fresh produce in Georgia, USA.
