Published: February 2021

strain FEX669 was isolated from retail ground chicken and shown to contain the extraintestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) virulence genes , and Because this presumptive ExPEC strain was isolated from a retail food item and it was a weak biofilm former, it was characterized using whole-genome sequencing using the PacBio RS II platform. Genomic analysis showed that the FEX669 chromosome is 4,973,943 bp long, with a GC content of 50.47%, and is accompanied by a ColV plasmid that is 237,102 bp long, with a GC content of 50.49%.
