Short- and Long-Read Sequencing Reveals the Presence and Evolution of an IncF Plasmid Harboring blaCTX-M-15 and blaCTX-M-27 Genes in Escherichia coli ST131

Short- and Long-Read Sequencing Reveals the Presence and Evolution of an IncF Plasmid Harboring blaCTX-M-15 and blaCTX-M-27 Genes in Escherichia coli ST131

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) has contributed to the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and has emerged as the dominant cause of hospital- and community-acquired urinary tract infections. Here, we report for the first time an in-depth analysis of whole-genome seq...
