Abstract

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an emerging food-borne pathogen causing acute or persistent diarrhea in humans. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a strain of EAEC with multiple metals and antimicrobial resistance genes isolated from a waste-activated sludge collected from a Canadian municipal wastewater treatment plant.

Keywords: enteroaggregative Escherichia coli; multiple metals and antimicrobial resistance genes; waste-activated sludge; whole-genome sequencing.
