Abstract

The whole-genome sequence of Escherichia coli strain DP033 is reported here. DP033 was isolated from a human rectal specimen in Tilburg, the Netherlands. In silico analysis showed that DP033 possessed 36 virulence-related genes and is a presumptive extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli and uropathogenic E. coli strain.
