Parallel loss of type VI secretion systems in two multi-drug resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> lineages
2023-03-28
Abstract excerpt
The repeated emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli clones is a threat to public health globally. In recent work, drug resistant E. coli were shown to be capable of displacing commensal E. coli in the human gut. Given the rapid colonisation observed in travel studies, it is possible that the presence of a type VI secretion system (T6SS) may be responsible for the rapid competitive advantage of...
