Escherichia coli (ATCC No. 1430): Genomic Assembly. Escherichia coli strain:P14 | isolate:BAA-1430

This is a non-pathogenic/toxigenic E. coli strain that has been recommended by the USDA for use as a surrogate indicator organism to measure changes in microbial counts. This isolate was originally isolated from cattle isolates at Iowa State University. It has been verified to lack by the E. coli Reference Center of Pennsylvania State University, as well as has been reported by the depositor to express no cytotoxicity when cultured with African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells. Further analysis incorporating whole genome sequencing by the current submitter also demonstrates a lack of virulence. This isolate was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and the current sequence data was generated by both the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platforms.For further information please see the following:https://www.atcc.org/products/all/BAA-1427.aspx#generalinformationhttps://doi.org/10.4315/0362-028x-68.12.2580
