Draft Genome Sequence of the Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strain LR09, Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant

Genome Announc. 2014 Apr 3;2(2):e00272-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00272-14.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Escherichia coli O1:H6 strain LR09, which was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant and displays high resistance to five fluoroquinolone antimicrobials. The assembled data determine that the strain clusters with E. coli phylogroup F and harbors a plasmid conferring resistance to a broad spectrum of antibiotics.
