Genome Sequence of Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli CLR8, Isolated from the Feces of Larus argentatus

Migratory birds are potential vehicles of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, a colistin-resistant Escherichia coli strain, CLR8, was isolated from the feces of Larus argentatus . The draft genome sequence of the strain indicated that it hosts mcr-1 , which is a plasmid-mediated colistin r...
