ABSTRACT Colistin has been classified as a highest priority critically important antibiotic. However, the emergence of mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes has threatened the therapeutic uses of colistin. Here, we report the draft genome sequences, antibiotic resistance genes, and sequence types (STs) of two multidrug-resistant and mcr-1.1-positive Escherichia coli strains isolated from irrigation water.

ABSTRACT Resistance to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, threatens the treatment of complicated infections, especially in susceptible populations such as Syrian refugees who live in makeshift camps. Two multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains with the plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene (mcr-1.1) were isolated from the waters used by refugees and sequenced to analyze antibiotic resistance determinants.

We present the genome sequences of two carbapenemase-producing sequence type 405 Escherichia coli clinical isolates, strains Marseille-Q1950 and Marseille-Q1951. The isolates were obtained 1 month apart during the patient’s hospitalization in Lebanon, in May (Marseille-Q1950) and June (Marseille-Q1951) 2019. The genome sizes of strains Marseille-Q1950 and Marseille-Q1951 were 5,181,515 bp and 5,213,451 bp, respectively.

ABSTRACT Draft genomes of seven extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strains recovered from New Zealand waterways are described. The mean genome size was 5.1 Mb, with 4,724 coding sequences. All genomes contained the ESBL gene blaCTX-M, and one carried a plasmid-mediated AmpC gene, blaCMY-2. A multidrug-resistant genotype was detected in three isolates.

ABSTRACT Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 is a major cause of foodborne outbreaks and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three antibiotic-resistant E. coli O157:H7 strains isolated from feedlot cattle. These draft genome sequences will aid in the development of sequence-based tools for the detection of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genotypes.

Draft genome sequences of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains collected from clinical infections were used to determine the prevalence of newly emerging antibiotic resistance genes in Maine. Comparisons between cefepime-resistant and -susceptible E. coli strains and imipenem-resistant and -susceptible P. aeruginosa strains are being conducted.

ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain (NIVEDI-P44) isolated from a chicken fecal sample. The estimated genome size is 4.76 Mb, with a G+C content of 50.65%. The genome harbors multiple antibiotic resistance genes, bla DHA-1 , mph (A), strA , strB , dfrA14 , sul-2 , tet (A), and qnrS1 .

Laboratory diagnosis of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) remains difficult and limits the availability of EIEC genomes to the research community. We report the draft genome sequences of three EIEC strains which represent three distinct sequence types and serotypes circulating in Asia Pacific and causing enterocolitis in humans.

ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequences of nine multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains isolated from humans (n = 6) and chicken carcasses (n = 3) from Lagos, Nigeria, in 2013. Multiple extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes were identified in these isolates.

Draft genomes of two strains of Escherichia coli, FP2 and FP3, isolated from the feces of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis), were sequenced. Genome sizes were 5.26 Mb with a predicted G+C content of 50.54% (FP2) and 5.07 Mb with a predicted G+C content of 50.41% (FP3).
