Draft genome sequence of a pathogenic O86: H25 sequence type 57 Escherichia coli strain isolated from poultry and carrying 12 acquired antibiotic resistance genes

Abstract

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.
