Here, we announce the genome of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Citrobacter freundii strain isolated from the cecum of a house sparrow that was found dead in Berlin-Lichtenberg, Germany, in 2017. This isolate exhibits increased MICs for several antimicrobials and a comprehensive set of acquired resistance determinants potentially involved in horizontal gene transfer.
