TL;DR
This paper presents the draft genome of a multidrug-resistant E. coli strain found in chicken liver from Kosovo, showing genes linked to antibiotic resistance and virulence.
Contribution
The study provides a new draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant E. coli strain from Kosovo, highlighting its antimicrobial resistance genes and plasmids.
Findings
The genome contains antibiotic resistance genes including blaEC-18, blaCTX-M-55, and dfrA36.
The genome was assembled into 86 contigs and 214 scaffolds.
The findings highlight the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the food chain.
Abstract
We report the draft genome of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli UA1 from Kosovo retail chicken liver, revealing ARGs (blaEC-18, blaCTX-M-55, and dfrA36), virulence genes, and plasmids. Assembled into 86 contigs and 214 scaffolds, it highlights antimicrobial resistance dissemination in the food chain.
