Multidrug-resistance plasmids present in ST131. Phylogeny of the whole collection with columns to the right representing phylogroup, the five most frequent STs, phenotypic antibiotic-resistance data linked to the plasmid (ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime- and gentamicin), the presence of incFIA and incFIB, and antibiotic-resistance genes carried by the plasmid (aac(6′)-Ib, blaCTX-M, blaOXA, dfrA, mphA, sul1, and tetA). (Black) Missing; (color) present. The phylogenetic tree is the same as in Figure 1.
