Novel insights and features of the NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli ST167 high-risk clone
Escherichia coli sequence type 167 (ST167), producing the metallo beta-lactamase NDM-5, has been isolated as a colonizer of patients recovered at the University Hospital Policlinico Umberto I of Rome. Phylogenesis and comparative analysis of the genomes of these strains were performed against 343 ST167 genomes available from the EnteroBase database.
