Draft genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains isolated from mastitic cow milk

Escherichia coli is an important antibiotic-resistant pathogen in mastitis, with broader public health implications. We report the genomes of two E. coli strains, MBBL4 and MBBL5, isolated from mastitic cow milk. The draft genomes, covering 4.6 Mbp each, revealed 57.5% GC content and 100× sequencing depth.
