Article Title: Complete sequence of the avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain VTB96933v containing a novel conjugative antimicrobial resistance and virulence IncI1-ST114-ColBM plasmid
doi: 10.1128/mra.00284-25
Figure Lengend Snippet: Genetic map of the 161,786 bp antimicrobial resistance and virulence IncI1-ST114-ColBM plasmid pVTB933v-1 of the avian pathogenic E. coli strain VTB96933v from a broiler with airsacculitis in South Africa. The map includes the size of the plasmid in base pairs, GC content and distribution, and GC skew. Coding sequences (CDSs) are indicated with arrows, including those for the virulence iro cluster in purple, antimicrobial resistance genes in red, tra genes in orange, and colicin operons in green. Virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes and functions: tet (A), tetracycline resistance efflux; aph(3')-Ia , aminoglycoside phosphotransferase for resistance to kanamycin, neomycin, paromomycin, ribostamycin, and lividomycin; merACDEPRT , mercury resistance operons; iroBCDEN : salmochelin siderophore virulence system. Transposase and integrase are indicated in blue and light green, respectively. The map was plotted using Clinker version 0.0.28 and adapted with Adobe Illustrator version 29.3.1.
