Complete genomes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates encoding the EatA autotransporter from pediatric sources
Virulence in <i>Escherichia coli</i> is multifactorial, with additional virulence factors continuously being examined and characterized. We describe the complete genomes of 12 <i>E. coli</i> isolates obtained from subjects enrolled in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, each containing the virulence-associated enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i> autotransporter A gene (<i>eatA</i>).
