Draft genome sequences of six multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from pigeons in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Household pigeons are a potential source of multidrug-resistant (Escherichia coli (E. coli) and act as a transmission vehicle of this bacterium to humans. Here, we characterized the antimicrobial resistance profile and molecular properties of the whole genome sequences of six E. coli strains from household pigeons.
