Draft genome sequence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli U13824, a multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing UPEC strain isolated from an adult woman with urinary tract infection.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by multidrug-resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli are a worldwide concern. We report the draft genome of E. coli U13824 isolated from a female outpatient with UTI. This genome's availability strengthens the genomic surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and the spreading of these strains.
