Abstract
We have sequenced a large plasmid occurring among avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. This plasmid, pAPEC-O1-R, is a 241,387-bp IncHI2 plasmid which is co-transmissible via bacterial conjugation with a ColBM virulence plasmid, encodes resistance to eight antimicrobial agents, and appears to occur at low rates among extraintestinal E. coli.
