Complete Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Strain, Escherichia coli ATCC BAA-196, as a Model for Studying Induced Antibiotic Resistance Reversion.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain ATCC BAA-196, a model organism used for studying possible antibiotic resistance reversion induced by FS-1, an iodine-containing complex. Two genomes, representing FS-1-treated and negative-control variants and composed of a chromosome and several plasmids, were assembled.
