Genome Sequence and Annotation of a Human Infection Isolate of Escherichia coli O26:H11 Involved in a Raw Milk Cheese Outbreak

Abstract

The consumption of raw milk cheese can expose populations to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). We report here the genome sequence of an E. coli O26:H11 strain isolated from humans during the first raw milk cheese outbreak described in France (2005).
