Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequences of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) O124:H30 strain M4163 isolated from imported French cheese and EIEC O143:H26 strain 4608-58. The assembled data determined that both strains contain multiple copies of the ipaH gene, as well as the pINV A form of the invasion plasmid.
