Comparative Genome Analysis of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Sequence Type 131 Strains from Nepal and Japan

ABSTRACT The global spread of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) has largely been driven by the pandemic sequence type 131 (ST131). This study aimed to determine the molecular epidemiology of their spread in two Asian countries with contrasting prevalence....
