Use of Nanopore Sequencing to Characterise the Genomic Architecture of Mobile Genetic Elements Encoding blaCTX-M-15 in Escherichia coli Causing Travellers’ Diarrhoea

Increasing levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have been documented in Escherichia coli causing travellers’ diarrhoea, particularly to the third-generation cephalosporins. Diarrhoeagenic E. coli (DEC) can act as a reservoir for the exchange of AMR genes between bacteria residing in the human gu...
