Complete assembly of <i>Escherichia coli</i> ST131 genomes using long reads demonstrates antibiotic resistance gene variation within diverse plasmid and chromosomal contexts
2019-02-22
Abstract excerpt
The incidence of infections caused by extraintestinal Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is rising globally, which is a major public health concern. ExPEC strains that are resistant to antimicrobials have been associated with excess mortality, prolonged hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. E. coli ST131 is a major ExPEC clonal group worldwide with variable plasmid composition, and has an array of genes enabling ant...
