Escherichia coli strain:EC16 Assembly. Escherichia coli strain:EC16

Escherichia coli EC16 was isolated from a human hand swab collected in a market. The sample was obtained to investigate the presence of antibiotic resistance genes and assess potential public health risks. Following isolation, genomic analysis was conducted to identify resistance determinants, providing insights into the strain's antimicrobial resistance profile and its role in bacterial transmission within the community.
