N1 - Funding Information:
This work received funds from the following research grants: Encouraging Careers in Food Security and Safety: A Multidisciplinary Approach (USDA-NIFA 2016-38422-25541) to Y.M. and Bugs in my Food: Research and Professional Development in Food Safety for Undergraduates from Non-Land Grant Institutions (USDA-NIFA 2017-67032-26022) to E.G.D. Sequencing was supported by the FDA grant for the genome sequencing of foodborne pathogens by the Pennsylvania GenomeTrakr group (1 U19 FD007114-01). Additionally, E.G.D. was funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Federal Appropriations under project PEN04644, accession number 1015714.

N2 - Sixteen Escherichia coli isolates were obtained from fecal matter from a beef farm in Puerto Rico. Isolates were whole-genome sequenced for in silico characterization, including pathotype characterization, virulence, and plasmid identification. The results of the draft genomes identified potential pathogenic E. coli strains from beef cattle in Puerto Rico.
