Wildlife are implicated in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, but their roles as hosts for Escherichia coli that pose a threat to human and animal health is limited. Gulls (family Laridae) in particular, are known to carry diverse lineages of multiple-antibiotic resistant E. coli, including extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC). Whole genome sequencing of 431 E. coli isolates from 69 healthy Australian silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) sampled during the 2019 breeding season, and without antibiotic selection, was undertaken to assess carriage in an urban wildlife population. Phylogenetic analysis and genotyping resolved 123 sequence types (STs) representing most phylogroups, and identified diverse ExPEC, including an expansive phylogroup B2 cluster comprising 103 isolates (24 %; 31 STs). Analysis of the mobilome identified: i) widespread carriage of the Yersinia High Pathogenicity Island (HPI), a key ExPEC virulence determinant; ii) broad distribution of
As India completes genome study of 10,000 samples, it would now be able to build a database that could lead to gene-based remedies, and provide answers to questions on certain diseases, effectiveness of drugs and medicines
India News: Indian scientists complete whole genome sequencing of 10,000 individuals, revealing population specific variations and variants related to diseases. T
The creation of a database containing Indian genomes facilitates access for researchers worldwide to learn about unique genetic variants within India s population groups. This information can be instrumental in tailoring drugs and therapies to specific genetic characteristics
