Draft genome sequence of a Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strain from deer meat showing an IS-element integration in the B-subunit of the Shiga toxin Stx2b gene

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important food-borne pathogens. Here the authors report sequence data of the STEC strain BfR-EC-18960, which has integrated IS elements in the B-subunit of the Shiga toxin Stx2b gene. The strain was isolated from deer meat at a local butchery in Germany in 2021.

The article was published in the ASM journal Microbiology.
