Plasmid Replicon Typing of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli From Clams and Marine Sediments

Unlike human isolates, environmental Escherichia coli isolates have not been thoroughly investigated for the diversity and transferability of antibiotic-resistant plasmids. In this study, antibiotic-resistant strains from marine sediment (n = 50) and clams (n = 53) were analyzed (i) for their plasmi...
