Whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli isolated from contaminated meat samples collected from the Northern Region of Ghana reveals the presence of multiple antimicrobial resistance genes

ConclusionE. coli from contaminated meat sources in Ghana possessed multiple ARGs and were genetically diverse. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on WGS of E. coli isolated from various meat samples in the study area. The sequence data add to data base for epidemiological studies.
