E. coli O118 Genomic Profiles and Virulence Gene Boundaries

359 genomes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O118 were profiled to establish a phylogenomic framework and define virulence gene boundaries. The dataset includes supplementary material such as PNG images and XLSX files totaling 8.3 MB. Irvin Rivera authored the dataset, which was last updated on May 5, 2026.

Use Cases

• Construct phylogenomic trees based on genomic profiling of 359 strains.
• Map the boundaries of virulence genes within the O118 serotype.
• Compare genomic features across a collection of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
• Validate genomic analysis findings using supplementary visualizations (PNG).

Strengths

• Includes genomic data from 359 distinct E. coli O118 strains.
• Supplementary material includes both tabular (XLSX) and visual (PNG) formats.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal or source bias inherent to the specific collection.
