Whole-Genome Sequencing of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains Harboring the mcr-1 Gene, Isolated from Seawater of the Algiers Coast in Algeria

Colistin resistance has emerged worldwide and is threatening the treatment efficacy of multiresistant strains in humans and animals. Here, we communicate the whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of two colistin-resistant strains, M49 and M78, with genomes sizes of 4,947,168 and 5,178,716 bp, respectively,...
