Draft Genome Sequence of Escherichia albertii Strain Mex-12/320a, Isolated from an Infant with Diarrhea and Harboring Virulence Genes Associated with Diarrheagenic Strains of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.


ABSTRACT: Escherichia albertii is an emerging human enteropathogen. We report the draft genome sequence of E. albertii strain Mex-12/320a, isolated from an infant with diarrhea. The presence of the pathogenic island O122/IE6 and the nleA gene, previously found in diarrheagenic enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains, suggests that E. albertii may cause acute diarrhea.
