Complete Genomic Sequence of an Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strain of Serotype O7:HNT.

ABSTRACT: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is associated with colibacillosis in poultry. Here, we present the first complete sequence of an APEC strain of the O7:HNT serotype and ST73 sequence type, isolated from a broiler with cellulitis. Complete genomes of APEC with distinct genetic backgrounds may be useful for comparative analysis.
