Complete sequence of the avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain VTB96933v containing a novel conjugative antimicrobial resistance and virulence IncI1-ST114-ColBM plasmid
Zhuohao Wang, David Gerber, Vincent Perreten
TL;DR
This paper reports the full genetic sequence of a South African bird-disease-causing E. coli strain with a new plasmid carrying drug resistance and virulence genes.
Contribution
The discovery of a novel conjugative IncI1-ST114-ColBM plasmid with resistance and virulence genes in avian pathogenic E. coli.
Findings
The strain has a 5.12 Mb chromosome and two plasmids, including a 161,786 bp ColBM plasmid.
The plasmid is a new IncI1-ST114 type carrying antimicrobial resistance and APEC virulence genes.
The sequence was assembled using short and long read consensus-based methods.
Abstract
The complete sequence of a South African avian pathogenic Escherichia coli was obtained through short and long read consensus-based assembly. It consists of a 5,120,371 bp chromosome and two plasmids, one of 86,932 and the other of 161,786 bp. The latter is a novel conjugative ColBM plasmid type IncI1-ST114, containing antimicrobial resistance and APEC-associated virulence genes.
