Genetic structure of natural populations of Escherichia coli in wild hosts on different continents.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 1999

Souza V, Rocha M, Valera A, Eguiarte L E

Abstract excerpt

Current knowledge of genotypic and phenotypic diversity in the species Escherichia coli is based almost entirely on strains recovered from humans or zoo animals. In this study, we analyzed a collection of 202 strains obtained from 81 mammalian species representing 39 families and 14 orders in Australia and the Americas, as well as several reference strains; we also included a strain from a reptile and 10 from...
