Complete Genome Sequence of a Canadian Strain of Escherichia coli with Multiple Metal and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes That Was Isolated from Municipal Biosolids

Abstract

This announcement reports the complete genome sequence of a non-Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strain that was isolated from municipal biosolids collected from a Canadian wastewater treatment plant. This strain contains multiple metal, antimicrobial, and heat resistance genes, as determined by genome sequencing, and could be a useful bacterial model for future studies.
