Genomic characterization of a multidrug-resistant TEM-52b extended-spectrum β-lactamase-positive Escherichia coli ST219 isolated from a cat in France

ConclusionThis draft genome can be used as a reference sequence for comparative studies using human and non-human E. coli isolates, in order to identify genetic events that have contributed to pathogenicity and adaptation of TEM-52-producing E. coli clones at the human-animal interface, as well as to elucidate dynamics of the spread of blaTEM-52 ESBL genes.
