Abstract
We report here the complete genome sequence, including five plasmid sequences, of Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) strain JJ1887. The strain was isolated in 2007 in the United States from a patient with recurrent cystitis, whose caregiver sister died from urosepsis caused by a nearly identical strain.
Highlights
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is currently the most prevalent extraintestinal E. coli lineage [1]
Its ST131-H30 sublineage accounts for most E. coli isolates that are fluoroquinolone resistant and produce extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) [2]
Carriage of blaCTX-M-15 is associated with the ST131-H30Rx sublineage within ST131-H30 [3]
Summary
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is currently the most prevalent extraintestinal E. coli lineage [1]. Its ST131-H30 sublineage accounts for most E. coli isolates that are fluoroquinolone resistant and produce extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) [2]. Carriage of blaCTX-M-15 is associated with the ST131-H30Rx sublineage within ST131-H30 [3]. We sequenced two E. coli clinical isolates from two adult sisters, one with recurrent E. coli cystitis, and the other with fatal E. coli urosepsis that developed after caring for her sister.
