Genomic molecular epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli ST410 isolates by complete genome analysis.

ABSTRACT: The circulation of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (CPEC) in our society is a serious concern for vulnerable patients in nosocomial environments. However, the genomic epidemiology of the circulation of CPEC bacteria among companion animals remains largely unknown. In this study, epidemiological analysis was conducted using complete genome identification of CPEC ST410 isolates obtained from companion animals. To estimate the genomic distance and relatedness of the isolates, a total of 37 whole-genome datasets of E. coli ST410 strains were downloaded and comparatively analysed. As a result of the analysis, the genomic structure of the chromosomes and plasmids was identified, revealing the genomic positions of multiple resistance and virulence genes. The isolates in this study were g
