Genome sequence of the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strain NCCP15657

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jul;194(14):3751-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.00654-12.

Abstract

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli causes bloody diarrhea and hemolytic-uremic syndrome and serious outbreaks worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of E. coli NCCP15657 isolated from a patient. The genome has virulence genes, many in the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) island, encoding a metalloprotease, the Shiga toxin, and constituents of type III secretion.
