Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequences of Escherichia coli strains APEC-O2-MS1266 and APEC-O2-MS1657 isolated from the liver and heart of infected broilers in Mississippi State, US. The genomic information of these two causative strains may provide a valuable reference for comparative studies of avian pathogenic E. coli.

Keywords: avian pathogenic Escherichia coli; poultry farm; whole-genome sequencing.
