Overview

This study investigates plasmid and colicin roles in antibiotic-resistant E. coli persistence in Caspian gulls, highlighting ecological implications for One Health.

Key Points

  • Sustained colonization of cephalosporin-resistant E. coli occurred in gulls for three months, marking a significant ecological observation.
  • Rapid dissemination of various E. coli strains, particularly ST11138, indicates competitive dynamics crucial for understanding resistance spread.
  • Genomic analysis revealed plasmids in ST11138 likely provided competitive advantages through colicin encoding.
  • Findings call for addressing ecological interactions in antimicrobial resistance assessments under the One Health framework.
