Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Strain RS218 (O18:H7:K1), Associated with Neonatal Meningitis

Escherichia coli RS218 is the prototypic strain of neonatal meningitis-causing E. coli (NMEC) and has been used in many studies related to NMEC pathogenesis. In the present study, the genome of E. coli RS218 was sequenced together with its plasmid, pRS218. Here, we report the fully closed genome seq...
