Genomic analysis and phylogenetic position of the complex IncC plasmid found in the Spanish monophasic clone of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Abstract pUO-STmRV1 is an IncC plasmid discovered in the Spanish clone of the emergent monophasic variant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, which has probably contributed to its epidemiological success. The sequence of the entire plasmid determined herein revealed a largely degenerated bac...
