Escherichia coli strain:pE17.16 Genome sequencing. Escherichia coli strain:pE17.16

Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamases confer resistance to various clinically relevant beta-lactam antimicrobials. Both ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamases can be encoded on transmissible plasmids, including plasmids from incompatibility group I1. IncI1 plasmids encoding various ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamases, and an ESBL-negative plasmid were sequenced here for comparative analysis.
