Abstract excerpt
IncF ColV plasmids are important plasmid incompatibility group that are currently restricted to the Enterobacteriaceae. These plasmids carry an important repertoire of virulence-associated genes (VAGs) that contribute to the ability of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli to cause disease in poultry. VAGs found on ColV plasmids have also been linked to urosepsis and meningitis in humans but the mechanisms that...
