This study aimed at identifying resistome and plasmidomes carrying antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in an extensively drug-resistant extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli strain XP817 isolated from a one-year-old child with respiratory distress syndrome. Whole genome analysis of strain XP817 revealed 68 ARGs documented in the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD). In conclusion, our study underlines the crucial role of the ARG dissemination via horizontal gene transfer in E. coli as well as in the Enterobacteriaceae family.
