Genomic Characterization of a Uropathogenic Escherichia coli ST405 Isolate Harboring bla _CTX-M-15-Encoding IncFIA-FIB Plasmid, bla _CTX-M-24-Encoding IncI1 Plasmid, and Phage-Like Plasmid.

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli sequence type 405 is an emerging antibiotic-resistant clonal group associated with the global dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli. In this study, we report the genome assembly and characterization of a uropathogenic E. coli ST405 strain, SZESBLEC201, based on long and short reads obtained from the Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that SZESBLEC201 harbors a 5,020,403 bp chromosome and three plasmids, namely, pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-2, and pSZESBLEC201-3. pSZESBLEC201-1 (111,621 bp) belongs to the IncFIA-FIB type and harbors bla _CTX-M-15. However, this plasmid does not harbor conjugative transfer-associated genes, rendering pSZESBLEC201-1 unable
