Genome Plasticity in Clinical Escherichia coli: Comparative Insights into Pathogenicity Islands, Prophages, and CRISPR–Cas Systems
2026-08-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Escherichia coli is a common inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract but can also act as an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of clinical infections. Its genomic plasticity, facilitated by horizontal gene transfer and mobile genetic elements, enables adaptation to diverse host environments. This study aimed to characterize structural and accessory genomic features con...
