Global phylogenetic analysis of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and plasmids carrying the <i>mcr-1</i> gene indicates bacterial diversity but plasmid restriction
2017-05-11
Abstract excerpt
To understand the dynamics behind the worldwide spread of the mcr-1 gene, we determined the population structure of Escherichia coli and of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) carrying the mcr-1 gene. After a systematic review of the literature we included 65 E. coli whole genome sequences (WGS), adding 6 recently sequenced travel related isolates, and 312 MLST profiles. We included 219 MGEs described in 7 Enteroba...
