Abstract

The whole-genome sequences of four multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli strains, namely, DAK02, DAK03, DAK05, and DAK10, are reported here. The E. coli strains were isolated from fecal samples of ulcerative colitis patients from Northern India. The size of the draft genome sequence ranged from 4,809 to 5,000 kb.

Keywords: Escherichia coli; antibiotic resistance; ulcerative colitis; whole-genome sequence.
