## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome assembly of an antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli strain from healthy cattle in South Africa.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the genome assembly of HMVC1, an antimicrobial-resistant E. coli from healthy cattle in South Africa.

## Key findings

- The genome of HMVC1 is 5,043,843 bp with a G + C content of 50.5%.
- The strain contains several antimicrobial resistance genes including marA, mdtM, acrF, and acrD.

## Abstract

Here, we present the genome assembly of E. coli strain HMVC1 isolated from rectal fecal samples of healthy cattle in South Africa. The genome size of HMVC1 consisted of 5,043,843 bp, with G + C content of 50.5%. The strain harbors marA, mdtM, acrF, acrD, and other antimicrobial resistance genes.
