Escherichia coli SECEC SMS-3-5

Escherichia coli strain SECEC SMS-3-5 was isolated from Shipyard Creek, Charleston, SC, an industrial, toxic metal-contaminated coastal environment. It is resistant to a record-number of antibiotics, in many cases at record-high concentrations. To our knowledge, this is the first case of resistance to ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin, two front-line fluoroquinolones, in an environmental strain.
