Abstract excerpt
We compared the distribution of phylogenetic groups and nine virulence factors among the pathogenic (isolated from blood and urine) and commensal (isolated from feces of healthy individuals) strains of Escherichia coli, and also compared the occurrence of virulence factors according to the production of (bla)(CTX-M) among the pathogenic strains. A total of 550 non-duplicate E. coli isolates (145 from blood, 200...
