A Siderophore-Encoding Plasmid Encodes High-Level Virulence in Escherichia coli
ABSTRACT A plasmid that harbored the virulence factors highly like those of the virulence plasmid commonly found in clinical hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains was detected in a foodborne Escherichia coli strain EC1108 and designated p1108-IncFIB. This virulent-like plasmid was found to be...
