Complete genomes of hybrid <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates containing virulence factors from enterotoxigenic and enteropathogenic pathovars

This announcement describes the genomes of three hybrid <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates containing virulence factors from enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i>. The recognition and characterization of these hybrid pathogens is essential in understanding the development of these novel organisms as an emerging threat among enteric pathogens.
