Short- and Long-Read Sequencing Reveals the Presence and Evolution of an IncF Plasmid Harboring bla CTX-M-15 and bla CTX-M-27 Genes in Escherichia coli ST131
19 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Combining short and long reads from whole-genome sequencing analysis provided a genetic context for uncommon genes of clinical importance to better understand transmission and evolutionary features of ESBL-producing uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) ST131 isolates recovered in Armenia. Using hybrid genome assembly in countries lacking genomic surveillance studies can inform us about new lineages not seen in other...
