Epidemiological correlates of virulence genotype and phylogenetic background among Escherichia coli blood isolates from adults with diverse-source bacteremia.

Abstract excerpt

Associations of virulence genotype and phylogenetic background with epidemiological factors (primary source of bacteremia, host compromise status, and hospital versus community origin) were assessed among 182 Escherichia coli blood isolates from adults with diverse-source bacteremia in comparison with fecal controls from the E. coli Reference collection. A continuum of virulence was found, from urinary and...
