Genome analysis reveals multidrug-resistant escherichia coli with resistance genes and virulence factors, suggesting public health concerns.
The genome (length 4,949,272 bp, G+C content 50.70%) of the multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain 11.2.3 isolated from the Msunduzi River (South Africa) enabled assignment to sequence type 131, phylogroup B2, and serotype O16:H5. Antibiotic resistance genes (e.g., bla CTX-M15 ) and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli- associated virulence factors (e.g., fyuA ) were detected.
