## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of an EAEC strain found in Canadian wastewater, which has resistance to metals and antibiotics.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome sequence of an EAEC strain with multiple resistance genes isolated from Canadian municipal waste.

## Key findings

- The EAEC strain was isolated from Canadian municipal wastewater.
- The genome contains multiple genes conferring resistance to metals and antimicrobials.
- The complete genome sequence was determined and reported.

## Abstract

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an emerging food-borne pathogen causing acute or persistent diarrhea in humans. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a strain of EAEC with multiple metals and antimicrobial resistance genes isolated from a waste-activated sludge collected from a Canadian municipal wastewater treatment plant.
