Virulence Characteristics and Phylogenetic Background of Multidrug‐Resistant and Antimicrobial‐Susceptible Clinical Isolates ofEscherichia colifrom across the United States, 2000–2001

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Increases in antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli have been paralleled by an increasing incidence of E. coli sepsis, suggesting a possible link between resistance and virulence. METHODS: All 76 multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli isolates (i.e., those resistant to > or =3 antimicrobial agents, including ampicillin, ceftazidime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin)...
