Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Strain FEX669, a ColV Plasmid-Containing Isolate from Retail Chicken Meat

Escherichia coli strain FEX669 was isolated from retail ground chicken and shown to contain the extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) virulence genes sfaD, focC, and iutA. Because this presumptive ExPEC strain was isolated from a retail food item and it was a weak biofilm former, it was charact...

Descripción
Sumario:Escherichia coli strain FEX669 was isolated from retail ground chicken and shown to contain the extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) virulence genes sfaD, focC, and iutA. Because this presumptive ExPEC strain was isolated from a retail food item and it was a weak biofilm former, it was characterized using whole-genome sequencing using the PacBio RS II platform. Genomic analysis showed that the FEX669 chromosome is 4,973,943 bp long, with a GC content of 50.47%, and is accompanied by a ColV plasmid that is 237,102 bp long, with a GC content of 50.49%.
