Draft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug- and Colistin-Resistant mcr-1 -Producing Escherichia coli Isolate from a Swine Farm in Mexico

ABSTRACT A colistin-resistant mcr-1 -carrying Escherichia coli strain, RC2-007, was isolated from a swine farm in Mexico. This extraintestinal and uropathogenic strain of E. coli belongs to serotype O89:H9 and sequence type 744. Assembly and annotation resulted in a 4.9-Mb draft genome that revealed the presence of plasmid-mediated mcr-1 -IS ApI1 genes as part of a prophage.
