Complete genome sequence of a colistin resistance gene (mcr-1)-bearing isolate of Escherichia coli from the United States.
Transmissible colistin resistance conferred by the mcr-1 gene-bearing IncI2 plasmid has been recently reported in Escherichia coli in the United States. We report here the completed genome sequence of a second E. coli strain isolated from swine in the United States that carried the mcr-1 gene on an IncI2-type plasmid.
