Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals High Genetic Diversity, Diverse Repertoire of Virulence-Associated Genes and Limited Antibiotic Resistance Genes among Commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> from Food Animals in Uganda

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals High Genetic Diversity, Diverse Repertoire of Virulence-Associated Genes and Limited Antibiotic Resistance Genes among Commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> from Food Animals in Uganda

Commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> with broad repertoire of virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes pose serious public health risks as reservoirs of AMR and virulence. This study undertook whole genome characterization of commensal <i>E. coli</i> from food-producin...
