Draft Genome Sequence of a Pathogenic O86:H25 Sequence Type 57 Escherichia coli Strain Isolated from Poultry and Carrying 12 Acquired Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Free PMC Article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4582591/Escherichia coli is a commensal bacterium that is frequently associated with multidrug-resistant zoonotic and foodborne infections. Here, we report the 5.6-Mbp draft genome sequence of an E. coli recovered from poultry, which encodes multiple acquired antibiotic resistance determinants, virulence factors, pathogenicity determinants, and mobile genetic elements.Daniela Jones-Dias and Vera Manageiro have received research funding from Fundação para Ciência e Tecnologia (grant numbers SFRH/BD/ 80001/2011 and SFRH/BPD/77486/2011, respectively).
