The aim of this study was to describe the frequency, and distribution across the phylogeny, of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants in STEC O157:H7 isolated from human cases in England.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Short-read whole-genome sequencing data from 1473 isolates of STEC O157:H7 from all seven sub-lineages (Ia-Ic, IIa-IIc and I\/II) were mapped to genes known to confer phenotypic resistance to 10 different classes of antibiotic.

The highest proportion of AMR determinants were detected in sub-lineages Ib (28\/64, 43.7%), I\/II (18\/51, 35.3%) and IIc (122\/440, 27.7%). In all sub-lineages, the most commonly detected AMR determinants conferred resistance to the aminoglycosides, tetracyclines and sulphonamides, while AMR determinants conferring resistance to fluroquinolones, macrolides and third-generation cephalosporins were rarely detected. Long-read sequencing analysis showed that the AMR determinants were co-located on the chromosome in sub-lineages Ib and lineage I\/II, whereas those associated with sub-lineage IIc were encoded on the chromosome and\/or large plasmids.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>AMR genes were unevenly distributed across the different sub-lineages of STEC O157:H7 and between different clades within the same sub-lineage.
