Draft Genome Sequences of 12 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Dairy Cattle in Portugal

Descripción
Sumario:Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a foodborne pathogen transmitted from animals to humans through contaminated food. Cattle are the main reservoir of STEC, but their genetic diversity is still poorly characterized, especially regarding strains isolated in Portugal. We therefore present the draft genomic sequences of 12 STEC strains isolated from cattle in the north of Portugal.
