Complete Genome Sequences of 47 Environmental Isolates of Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli is commonly considered a host-associated bacterium. However, there is evidence that some strains occupy environmental (non-host-associated) niches. Here, we report the complete genomes of 47 Escherichia coli environmental isolates. These will be useful for understanding the dynamics of plasmids, phages, and other repetitive genetic elements.
