Complete genome sequence of three atypical diarrheagenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O166:H15 strains from foodborne outbreaks
<i>Escherichia coli</i> O166:H15 strains have been repeatedly isolated from foodborne outbreaks in Japan. These strains lack the major virulence factors typically associated with diarrheagenic <i>E. coli</i>. To characterize the genomic features of these atypical strains, we present the complete genome sequences of three <i>E. coli</i> O166:H15 isolates from foodborne outbreaks.
