Complete Genome Sequence of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strain APEC O2-211

Abstract

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the causative agent of colibacillosis, a disease that affects poultry production worldwide and leads to multimillion-dollar losses annually. Here, we report the genome sequence of APEC O2-211, a sequence type 117 (ST117) strain isolated from a diseased chicken.
