Recently, #ST131 has emerged & spread globally. Dissemination is unclear in #Australia. There’re reports of commonality between ST131 from humans & pets. Here, using #WGS, we investigated pet-sourced E. coli on an Australia-wide level against a global collection

We used 
sources of isolates & compared characteristics of FQR E. coli from humans & pets, using PCR-based phylotyping & WGS. We include #genomic data from Aussie isolates over 2-years & a previous study by @genomiss in @mbiojournal https://mbio.asm.org/content/7/2/e00347-16.abstract [110 citations] 3/7

We show the epidemiological associations of these isolates is leading to the clinically relevant conclusion that the transfer of #AMR E. coli ST131 between humans & pets is much less frequent than assumed 4/7
