Megaplasmids associate with <i>Escherichia coli</i> and other <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i>

2025-09-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Humans and animals are ubiquitously colonized by Enterobacteriaceae , a bacterial family that contains both commensals and clinically significant pathogens. Here, we report Enterobacteriaceae megaplasmids of up to 1.58 Mbp in length in infant and adult guts, and other microbiomes. Of 19 complete plasmid genomes, one was reconstructed from an E. coli isolate; others were linked to species of C...
