Abstract
ABSTRACTExtraintestinal Escherichia coli sequence type 1193 (ST1193) is an important source of fluoroquinolone resistance, which has emerged in recent years. We report the first draft genome sequence and annotation of a multidrug-resistant E. coli ST1193 strain obtained from a wastewater treatment plant in Austria.
Highlights
Escherichia coli sequence type 1193 (ST1193) was recently described as an extraintestinal fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQR) pandemic clone (1–5)
The blaCTX-M-55 gene was not carried in any of the plasmids reported by PlasmidFinder, but the contig carrying this gene presented 99.79% identity to a Klebsiella pneumoniae plasmid
CgMLST-based comparisons of our isolate with publicly available genomes revealed that a neonatal meningitis O75:H5 E. coli strain
Summary
Escherichia coli sequence type 1193 (ST1193) was recently described as an extraintestinal (exPEC) fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQR) pandemic clone (1–5). The genome assembly of one E. coli isolate contained 5,182,660 bases with 150 contigs, a contig N50 value of 150,776 bp, a GC content of 50.61%, and a genome coverage of 75Â. The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (10) yielded a total of 5,295 genes, including 4,982 coding genes, 3 rRNAs, 92 tRNAs, 6 noncoding RNAs, and 189 pseudogenes.
