Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant E. coli recovered from diarrheagenic children under 5 years from Mukuru Informal Settlement, Nairobi, Kenya, based on whole-genome sequencing analysis

Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant E. coli recovered from diarrheagenic children under 5 years from Mukuru Informal Settlement, Nairobi, Kenya, based on whole-genome sequencing analysis

ABSTRACT High genomic plasticity within Escherichia coli enables it to acquire and accumulate genetic material through horizontal gene transfer. In this study, we sought to investigate the virulence genes, phylogroups, antibiotic resistance genes, plasmid replicons, multilocus sequence types (MLST),...
