WGS of Escherichia coli isolated from healthy domestic ruminants in cefotaxime-containing media. Escherichia coli

As part of a study designed to estimate the prevalence of several food-borne pathogens in healthy domestic ruminant herds (cattle and sheep) in Northern Spain, the genome of 66 isolates of Escherichia coli isolated in cefotaxime-containing media was sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq6000. Sequence data will be used for a complete characterization of the isolates (antimicrobial resistance genetic determinants, virulence genes, plasmid replicons, strain typing, phylogeny, etc).
