Abstract

The genome sequence of Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 EDL933, a ground beef isolate from a 1983 hemorrhagic colitis outbreak, is a standard reference for comparative genomic studies of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains. Here, we report the genome sequence of a patient stool isolate from that outbreak, strain EDL932.
