Pathogenome and Plasmid-Borne Antimicrobial Resistance Phenotypes in a Multidrug-Resistant O111:H8 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Strain

The paper characterizes four plasmids in an O111:H8 STEC strain, showing their mobility, gene content, and resistance phenotypes, with findings on plasmid interactions and resistance mechanisms.

Phylogenomic framework and virulence gene boundaries of emerging Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O118 informed by the comprehensive profiling of 359 O118 genomes

This study analyzes 359 O118 STEC genomes to characterize their phylogenetic relationships, virulence factors, and resistance traits, identifying novel pathogenicity islands and genetic diversity.
