Genome-wide genetic marker analysis and genotyping of Escherichia fergusonii strain OTSVEF-60.

ABSTRACT: Poultry originated Escherichia fergusonii (POEF), an emerging bacterial pathogen, causes a wide range of intestinal and extra-intestinal infections in the poultry industry which incurred significant economic losses worldwide. Chromosomal co-existence of antibiotics and metal resistance genes has recently been the focal point of POEF isolates besides its pathogenic potentials. This study reports the complete genome analysis of POEF strain OTSVEF-60 from the poultry originated samples of Bangladesh. The assembled draft genome of the strain was 4.2 Mbp containing 4503 coding sequences, 120 RNA (rRNA = 34, tRNA = 79, ncRNA = 7), and three intact phage signature regions. Forty-one broad range antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) including dfrA12, qnrS1, bla_TEM-1, aadA2, tet(A), and sul
