Pathogenome and Plasmid-Borne Antimicrobial Resistance Phenotypes in a Multidrug-Resistant O111:H8 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Strain
Plasmids contribute to virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Here, the mobility, gene content, and evolutionary context of four plasmids carried by an O111:H8 STEC strain designated UTAK-22: pUTAK-22.1-MDR, pUTAK-22.2-MDR, pUTAK-22.3-P1, and pUTAK-22.4-pO111 were characterized. Conjugation experiments, phenotype-based selective readouts, and…
