Abstract

Escherichia coli ATCC 11775 is a strain that was identified in 1941 and is now considered a type strain for the species. We present here the complete genome sequence for E. coli ATCC 11775. The genome was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies products and had 4,903,501 and 131,333 nucleotides of sequence length of the individual chromosome and plasmid, respectively.
