Diverse Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli (STEC) strains have been isolated from several environmental samples. Rivers are associated with the distribution of STEC pathogens in the environment. Thus, we report the complete genome sequence of a locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE)-positive STEC O157:H7 strain isolated from the Mississippi River.
