One Health genomic surveillance of <i>Escherichia coli</i> demonstrates distinct lineages and mobile genetic elements in isolates from humans versus livestock
2018-10-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Livestock have been proposed as a reservoir for drug-resistant Escherichia coli that infect humans. We isolated and sequenced 431 E. coli (including 155 ESBL-producing isolates) from cross-sectional surveys of livestock farms and retail meat in the East of England. These were compared with the genomes of 1517 E. coli associated with bloodstream infection in the United Kingdom. Phylogenetic co...
