Abstract

Escherichia coli are frequently co-isolated with Enterococcus spp. from urine cultures of dogs with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are augmented by Enterococcus in polymicrobial UTIs. We report the draft genome sequences of 12 UPEC co-isolated with Enterococcus spp. from canine urinary tract infections.

Keywords: E. coli; UPEC; canine urinary tract infection; polymicrobial infections.
