Abstract excerpt
PCR primers specific for the recently described antimicrobial resistance-associated Escherichia coli clonal group A (CGA), a widespread cause of drug-resistant urinary tract infections in the United States, were devised on the basis of a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism identified within the housekeeping gene fumC, i.e., C288T.
