Genome Plasticity in Clinical Escherichia coli: Comparative Insights into Pathogenicity Islands, Prophages, and CRISPR–Cas Systems
2026-04-27
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 remarkable genomic plasticity, driven by horizontal gene transfer and mobile genetic elements, enables rapid adaptation to different host environments. Understanding the structural genomic components that contribute...
