Complete genome sequence of the E. coli PMV-1 strain, a model ExPEC strain used for host-pathogen interaction studies
Escherichia coli is a highly versatile species, causing diverse intestinal and extra-intestinal infections. Here, we present the complete genome and plasmids sequences of an ExPEC strain that is used as a model for peritonitis in mice and was useful to decipher the innate immune response triggered by ExPEC infections. Plasmids pHUSEC411like and pECOS88like are also included in this genome project.
