Sequencing of colV plasmid pS286colV of Escherichia coli meningitis strain S286
Recent isolation of the non-K1 Escherichia coli neonatal meningitis strain S286, belonging to phylogroup C, which is closely related to major group B1, and producing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase encouraged us to seek the genetic determinants responsible for its virulence.  S286 harbors a large colV plasmid named pS286colV. The virulence of S286 is explained in part by the presence of pS286colV.
