Escherichia coli strain:ATCC 700414 Genome sequencing and assembly

Escherichia coli strain ATCC 700414 is a naturally occurring, Gram negative, enteric bacterium that was isolated from a woman with cystitis (bladder infection). This strain possesses virulence factors consistent with Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Urinary tract infections could be considered a form of foodborne illness, as meat and poultry are routinely contaminated with UPEC. Urinary tract infections can occur after consumption of contaminated food, colonization of the distal colon by UPEC, followed by accidental transfer of contaminated feces from the anus to the urethra. In this study, we fully sequenced and annotated Escherichia coli ATCC 700414 to further elucidate the genome and to facilitate research on the detection and control of UPEC in foods.

大肠杆菌菌株ATCC 700414，一种自然存在的革兰氏阴性肠道细菌，源自一例膀胱炎（膀胱感染）患者。该菌株携带有与尿路致病性大肠杆菌（UPEC）相一致的致病因子。泌尿道感染可被视为一种食源性疾病，因为肉类和家禽通常被UPEC污染。在食用被污染的食物后，UPEC可定植于远端结肠，随后意外地将被污染的粪便从肛门转移至尿道。在本研究中，我们对大肠杆菌ATCC 700414进行了全基因组测序和注释，旨在进一步阐明其基因组结构，并促进对食品中UPEC的检测与控制研究。
