Fine-Scale Reconstruction of the Evolution of FII-33 Multidrug Resistance Plasmids Enables High-Resolution Genomic Surveillance

ABSTRACT We examined 185 complete, publicly available FII-33 plasmid sequences, characterizing their backbone and various insertions. The variable characteristic insertions facilitated evolutionary reconstruction for this plasmid group, beginning with the acquisition of a primary resistance region (...
