Genomic analysis of phylogroup D Escherichia coli strains using novel de-novo reference-based guided assembly.

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli are highly diverse bacteria with different pathogenic types, serotypes and phylogenetic types/phylotypes. In recent years, infections with E. coli have increased worldwide and so has the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains. In the present study we have assembled, annotated and analysed genome sequences of three strains of the phylogroup D of E. coli. These strains were isolated from the river Yamuna, a prominent anthropogenic urban river of northern India. These strains showed varied antibiotic susceptibilities, one was susceptible to all the antibiotics tested except ampicillin while of the other two, one was multi-β-lactam resistant and the other was multi-drug resistant (resistant to multiple β-lactams, fluoroquinolones and kanamycin). The short-sequence reads wer
