Complete genome sequence of a high-risk Escherichia coli ST10 isolated from avian feces in Pakistan.

Abstract

We present the complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli strain PEC1009 isolated from avian feces in Pakistan. The strain belongs to sequence type (ST) 10, a high-risk clone. The strain possesses two plasmids, and various plasmid-borne antibiotic resistance genes and chromosome-borne virulence factor genes were identified in its genome.
