Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) pathovar strains, which are associated with Crohn's disease, share many genetic and phenotypic features with extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains, but little is known about the level of genetic similarity between the two pathovars. We aimed to determine the frequency of strains with the "AIEC phenotype" among a collection of ExPEC strains and to further...
