Atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
<i><B>Escherichia coli</i> strain E110019</B>. This strain (E110019; serotype O111:H9) was isolated from an oubreak of diarrhea in 1987 in Finland that affected 650 students and was spread in a person-to-person manner which is unusual for enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (EPEC). Therefore, this strain represents an atypical EPEC strain and it does not contain previously identified EPEC virulence factors such as the EAF plasmid. It represents a shift in the predominant group of EPEC pathogens causing disease in the industrialized world.  Genomic sequencing included two libraries: a small insert library (4-5 kb) and a large insert library (10-12 kb) from which 22,506 and 45,129 reads were sequenced, respectively.  This amount of sequence represents 10 X coverage of the genome. The preliminary project assembly contains 115 contigs.
