Abstract

We report 72 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of Escherichia coli recovered from the vaginal microbiomes of pregnant women. The MAGs have an estimated median genome size of 5.1 Mb (IQR 4.9-5.3). The average number of unique genes identified per genome was 3,330 genes (IQR 3,356-3,501), with a mean of 1,708 per genome being annotated.

Keywords: Escherichia coli; metagenomics; vaginal microbiota.
