Cohort study reveals closed genome sequences of 39 shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains from cattle, suggesting important insights into this intestinal pathogen.
Cattle are thought to be the primary reservoir of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), an important intestinal pathogen worldwide. Here, we present the closed genome sequences of 39 STEC strains isolated from healthy cattle in a cohort study conducted on the remote islands of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan.
