Abstract
Laboratory diagnosis of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) remains difficult and limits the availability of EIEC genomes to the research community. We report the draft genome sequences of three EIEC strains which represent three distinct sequence types and serotypes circulating in Asia Pacific and causing enterocolitis in humans.
Highlights
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) is closely related to Shigella species and causes enterocolitis syndrome, similar to shigellosis (1)
The serotypes of these strains were identified as O121, O28, and O96, respectively
3,645,936 2,980,100 4,284,180 results showed that they belonged to sequence types [6, 311], and 99, respectively
Summary
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) is closely related to Shigella species and causes enterocolitis syndrome, similar to shigellosis (1). The serotypes of these strains were identified as O121, O28, and O96, respectively.
