ObjectivesThe emergence of antimicrobial-resistant livestock-associatedEscherichia colirepresents a great public health concern. Here we report the draft genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant livestock-associatedE. colistrains MEZEC8 and MEZEC10 isolated from sheep in South Africa.MethodsGenomic DNA ofE. colistrains MEZEC8 and MEZEC10 was sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq platform. Generated reads were trimmed and de novo assembled. The assembled contigs were analysed for antimicrobial resistance genes, chromosomal mutations and extrachromosomal plasmids, and the sequence type (ST) was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). To compare strains MEZEC8 and MEZEC10 with other previously published sequences ofE. colistrains, raw read sequences ofE. colifrom livestock were downloaded from the NCBI’s Sequence Read Archive and all sequence files were treated identically to generate a core genome bootstrapped maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree.ResultsAntimicrobial resistance genes were detected in MEZEC8 and MEZEC10 conferring resistance to tetracycline and macrolides. MEZEC10 harboured two extrachromosomal plasmids (pO111 and Incl2), while MEZEC8 did not contain any extrachromosomal plasmids. Strain MEZEC8 belonged to serotype H25:O9 and ST58, whereas strain MEZEC10 belonged to serotype H49:O8 and ST1844.ConclusionThe genome sequences ofE. colistrains MEZEC8 and MEZEC10 will serve as a reference point for molecular epidemiological studies of antimicrobial-resistant livestock-associatedE. coliin Africa. In addition, this study allows in-depth analysis of genomic structure and will provide valuable information enabling us understand the antimicrobial resistance of livestock-associatedE. coli.
