Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of 10 Serogroup O6 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Entertotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of global diarrhea, resulting in approximately 200 million occurrences and 300,000 to 400,000 deaths annually, primarily in children under the age of five. Here, we announce the release of the draft genomes of 10 ETEC isolates belonging to serogroup O6.

Page 1: The title should read as given above and the number of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) serogroup O6 strains in the study should be given as nine throughout because one of the ETEC strains was confirmed to be a non-O6 strain. Page 1: The third and fourth sentences of the second paragraph should read as follows. “The average size of the ETEC genom...
متن کاملComparative genomic analysis and characteristics of NCCP15740, the major type of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in Korea
BACKGROUND Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) cause infectious diarrhea and diarrheal death. However, the genetic properties of pathogenic strains vary spatially and temporally, making prevention and treatment difficult. In this study, the genomic features of the major type of ETEC in Korea from 2003 to 2011 were examined by whole-genome sequencing of strain NCCP15740, and a comparative ge...
متن کاملHigh-Quality Whole-Genome Sequences for 21 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Strains Generated with PacBio Sequencing
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important diarrheagenic pathogen. We report here the high-quality whole-genome sequences of 21 ETEC strains isolated from patients in the United States, international diarrheal surveillance studies, and cruise ship outbreaks.
متن کاملOutbreak of infantile enteritis caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli O6.H16.
Ten out of 18 babies at risk developed enteritis in an outbreak in a special-care baby unit. Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli belonging to the traditional infantile enteropathogenic serogroups were not found in faeces from the babies and the staff, and no virus particles were found by electron microscopy. Detailed serotyping of E. coli showed that five of the 10 babies with diarrhoea ...
