Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of 14 fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli strains that were isolated from imported shrimp. All isolates contained multiple point mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) and non-QRDRs of gyrA, parC, and parE genes. The data improve the understanding of fluoroquinolone resistance and indicate resistance mechanisms.
