Abstract excerpt
Molecular typing methods were used to characterize 38 Escherichia coli strains that originally were isolated from extraintestinal infections and represented 5 multilocus enzyme electrophoretic types (ETs) recovered from both humans and animals. Within each ET, the human and animal isolates did not consistently segregate by host group, according to individual virulence factors (VFs), composite VF-serotype...
