  1. aThe plasmid cluster ID names were generated by MOB-suite software; each represents a group of related plasmids
  2. bThe E. coli pathotypes: APEC, avian-pathogenic; UPEC, urinary-pathogenic; EHEC, enterohemorrhagic; NMEC, neonatal meningitis-causing; STEC, shiga toxin-producing; ETEC, enterotoxigenic, and Unknown, and other bacterial species listed were associated with “Nearest Neighbour” plasmids and could represent a potential source of the plasmid
  3. cNames of the E. coli strains in this study where this plasmid cluster ID was detected
  4. dPlasmids that were genetically similar to the plasmid cluster IDs are listed by accession numbers to the NCBI nucleotide database
  5. eThe range in the number of open reading frames (ORFs) in each plasmid cluster (taking into account 8-12 different DNA sequence assemblies for each isolate) is shown with the average number of ORFs in parentheses
