Genomic Insights into Global bla_CTX-M-55-Positive Escherichia coli Epidemiology and Transmission Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, bla_CTX-M-55-positive Escherichia coli has been widely reported in multiple locations with an increasing trend in prevalence, yet few studies have comprehensively analyzed the transmission characteristics and epidemiological patterns of bla_CTX-M-55-positive E. coli. Here, we constructed a bla_CTX-M-55-positive E. coli global genomic data set as completely as possible and explored the epidemiology and potential impact of bla_CTX-M-55-positive E. coli on a global scale by high-resolution bioinformatics methods. The results show that bla_CTX-M-55-positive E. coli has spread widely worldwide, especially in Asia, with the rich sequence typing (ST) diversity and high proportion of auxiliary gen
