Comparative Genomics of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 219 Clones From the Same Patient: Evolution of the IncI1 blaCMY-Carrying Plasmid in Vivo

Comparative Genomics of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 219 Clones From the Same Patient: Evolution of the IncI1 blaCMY-Carrying Plasmid in Vivo

This study investigates the evolution of an Escherichia coli sequence type 219 clone in a patient with recurrent urinary tract infection, comparing isolate EC974 obtained prior to antibiotic treatment and isolate EC1515 recovered after exposure to several β-lactam antibiotics (ceftriaxone, cefixime,...
