While studying the prevalence and profile of antibiotic resistance among isolated from the feces of calves with signs of colibacillosis, a strain with a wide spectrum of drug resistance was isolated. Whole-genome sequencing, followed by bioinformatic processing and the annotation of genes of this strain, showed that the genome has a total length of 4,803,482 bp and contains 4986 genes, including 122 RNA genes. A total of 31% of the genes are functionally significant and represent 26 functional groups.
