Complete genome sequence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain APEC O2-211.
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the causative agent of colibacil- losis, a disease that affects poultry production worldwide and leads to multimillion-dollar losses annually. Here, we report the genome sequence of APEC O2-211, a sequence type 117 (ST117) strain isolated from a diseased chicken.
