Population genomics and antimicrobial resistance dynamics of Escherichia coli in wastewater and river environments

Jose F. Delgado-Blas et al. report a genomic analysis of two antimicrobial-resistant E. coli populations from wastewater and river water. They find that bacteria from wastewater are more resistant to antibiotics and rely on a diverse set of plasmids for adaptation, while river bacteria adapt mainly...
