Abstract
Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 strain ATCC 43888 is a Shiga toxin-deficient human fecal isolate. Due to its reduced toxicity and its availability from a curated culture collection, the strain has been used extensively in applied research studies. Here, we report the Illumina-corrected PacBio whole-genome sequence of E. coli O157:H7 strain ATCC 43888.
