Draft genome sequencing of a multidrug-resistant and virulent Escherichia coli strain isolated from milk of a cow with clinical mastitis

We present the draft genome of Escherichia coli strain MBBL3, a virulent and antimicrobial-resistant pathogen isolated from the milk of a cow suffering from clinical mastitis. The assembled genome spans 4,713,190 base pairs, organized into 115 contigs, and harbors 52 antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) alongside 25 virulence factor genes (VFGs).
