Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli ST131 is a major cause of infection with extensive antimicrobial resistance (AMR) facilitated by widespread beta-lactam antibiotic use. This drug pressure has driven extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene acquisition and evolution in pathogens, so a clearer resolution of ST131's origin, adaptation and spread is essential. E. coli ST131's ESBL genes are typically embedded in mobile genetic...
