Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report here the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain (NIVEDI-P44) isolated from a chicken fecal sample. The estimated genome size is 4.76 Mb, with a G+C content of 50.65%. The genome harbors multiple antibiotic resistance genes, blaDHA-1, mph(A), strA, strB, dfrA14, sul-2, tet(A), and qnrS1.
Highlights
There is worldwide concern about the emergence and rapid rise of antibioticresistant Escherichia coli strains in human and veterinary medicine in both developed and developing countries [1]
The E. coli strains harboring such genetic resistance determinants and circulating in constantly changing environments contribute to the resistance gene pool, raising the public health threat
Diligent study of the resistome and mobilome of MDR strains widely disseminated in various environments through comparative genome evaluation will enable us to acquire information about the emergence of resistance
Summary
There is worldwide concern about the emergence and rapid rise of antibioticresistant Escherichia coli strains in human and veterinary medicine in both developed and developing countries [1]. R.T. and S.D.M. contributed to this work.
