Abstract

Draft genomes of multidrug-resistant Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains IPK9(1) and IKS1(2), which were isolated from ready-to-eat foods (kokoro and shawarma) sold in Lagos, Nigeria, are reported. The genomes possessed genetic determinants for virulence and the antibiotic resistance gene for macrolide-associated resistance mdf(A) . Ready-to-eat foods increase public health threats in Nigeria.
