OXA181-producing extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli sequence type 410 isolated from a dog in Portugal. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 64(4):e02298-19. Doi 10.1128/AAC.02298-190066-4804http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/24129Research Areas: Microbiology ; Pharmacology & PharmacyTwo multidrug-resistant and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli clones of sequence type 410 were isolated from fecal samples of a dog with skin infection on admission to an animal hospital in Portugal and 1 month after discharge. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a 126,409-bp Col156/IncFIA/IncFII multidrug resistance plasmid and a 51,479-bp IncX3 blaOXA-181-containing plasmid. The chromosome and plasmids carried virulence genes characteristic for uropathogenic E. coli, indicating that dogs may carry multidrug-resistant E. coli isolates related to those causing urinary tract infections in humans.engPetsCarbapenemaseVeterinaryExPECCompanion animalsEscherichia colijournal article10.1128/AAC.02298-191098-6596
