Abstract
ABSTRACT
We have sequenced a large plasmid that occurs among avian pathogenic
Escherichia coli
isolates. This plasmid, pAPEC-O1-R, is a 241,387-bp IncHI2 plasmid which is cotransmissible via bacterial conjugation with a ColBM virulence plasmid, encodes resistance to eight antimicrobial agents, and appears to occur at low rates among extraintestinal
E. coli
isolates.
