Complete Genome Sequence of a Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli Strain Harboring mcr-1 on an IncHI2 Plasmid in the United States.

ABSTRACT: We report here the incidental detection and complete genome sequence of a urinary Escherichia coli strain harboring mcr-1 and resistant to colistin in a New York patient returning from Portugal in 2016. This strain, with sequence type 1485 (ST1485), was a non-extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and non-carbapenemase producer and carried the mcr-1 gene on an IncHI2 plasmid.
