Draft whole-genome sequences of three Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O91: H21 isolates, two from hemolytic uremic syndrome patients and one of porcine origin

Abstract

This study presents three genomes of O91:H21 isolates, two from hemolytic uremic syndrome patients and one of porcine origin. Genome analyses reveal that one of the human isolates contains both Shiga toxin-encoding genes (stx1 and stx2), and all three isolates contain putative adhesin (iha and eaeH) and antibiotic resistance (ampC) genes.
