Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli O13/O129:H11 isolate from imported beef in Saudi Arabia

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Escherichia coli , typically harmless, resides in the gut. However, certain strains are lethal pathogens. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of a multidrug resistance E. coli O13/O129 (food source) in Saudi Arabia. O-antigen of E. coli O13/O129 is closely related to Shigella flexneri (causative agent of shigellosis).
