Draft Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli O104 Strains of Bovine and Human Origin

ABSTRACT Cattle harbor and shed in their feces several Escherichia coli O104 serotypes. All O104 strains examined were intimin negative and belonged to the B1 phylogroup, and some were Shiga toxigenic. We report here the genome sequences of bovine O104:H7 ( n = 5), O104:H23 ( n = 2), O104:H8 ( n = 1), and O104:H12 ( n = 1) isolates and human clinical isolates of O104:H7 ( n = 5).
