The Ferric Citrate Uptake System Encoded in a Novel blaCTX–M–3- and blaTEM–1-Harboring Conjugative Plasmid Contributes to the Virulence of Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli is one major cause of bacterial infections and can horizontally acquire antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes through conjugation. Because conjugative plasmids can rapidly spread among bacteria of different species, the plasmids carrying both antimicrobial resistance and viru...
