Multiple antibiotic resistance gene recruitment onto the enterohemorrhagic <i>Escherichia coli</i> virulence plasmid
16 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains are zoonotic pathogens responsible for a range of severe human disease. The repertoire of virulence determinants promoting EHEC disease is encoded on both the main chromosome and virulence plasmid. We examined a multiply antibiotic-resistant O26 EHEC strain for carriage of resistance genes on the virulence plasmid. The EHEC virulence plasmid containing a complex...
