Virulence gene profiles of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) from Zambia: a secondary in silico study

2026-01-08

Abstract excerpt

This secondary in silico study analysed 36 Escherichia coli draft genome assemblies from Zambia to characterise ExPEC-associated virulence gene profiles and to contextualise these signals alongside mobilome proxies (plasmid replicons and prophage content). All assemblies met plausibility thresholds for E. coli (1–17 contigs; 4.85–5.77 Mb; GC 50.47–50.96%). Using the Achtman 7-locus MLST scheme, 25/36 genomes were...
