Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of the CTX-M-166-harboring O6:H16 sequence type 48 (ST48)-fimH34 Escherichia coli strain recovered from a Gallus gallus broiler. Sequence analyses revealed the presence of an IncI1/ST103-ISEcp1-bla_CTX-M-166-orf477 plasmid region and of diverse antibiotic resistance and virulence-acquired genes.
