Abstract

Neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) is a common agent of neonatal bacterial meningitis, causing high neonatal mortality and neurologic sequelae in its victims. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of NMEC O18 (also known as NMEC 58), a highly virulent (O18ac:K1, ST416) strain.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 Nicholson et al.)
