Draft Genome Sequences of Two Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli Strains Representative of Major Enteroinvasive Clades

Abstract

There are six described pathotypes of Escherichia coli that cause significant clinical illness in humans. Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) strains have been shown to be separated into three phylogenomic clades. To add to a limited body of EIEC genomic data, we report two high-quality draft genome sequences representing different EIEC phylogenomic clades.
