Molecular characterization of a multidrug resistance IncF plasmid from the globally disseminated Escherichia coli ST131 clone.

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (E. coli ST131) is a recently emerged and globally disseminated multidrug resistant clone associated with urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Plasmids represent a major vehicle for the carriage of antibiotic resistance genes in E. coli ST131. In this study, w...
