Escherichia coli strain:SCU-101 | isolate:SCU-101 Genome sequencing. Escherichia coli strain:SCU-101 | isolate:SCU-101

This study explores genomic diversity in commensal E. coli isolates from healthy college students. Commensal E. coli are near-ubiquitous components of the human gut microbiome, as well as a major cause of urinary tract infections. This study's goals are to document variation in genome structure in commensal E. coli, including plasmids, as well as variation in genetically-determined traits such as antibiotic resistance, adhesion, motility, and metabolism.
