Abstract

The complete genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain isolated from a healthy pig in Cuba was determined using short and long reads. This strain carried four plasmids, including a 42,683-kb IncX1 plasmid, which contains the third-generation cephalosporin resistance gene bla _CTX-M-32 together with other disinfectant and antibiotic resistance genes.
