Abstract excerpt
The success of certain sequence types such as ST131 that produce CTX-M or NDM β-lactamases, and ST405 that produce CTX-M β-lactamases, among extraintestinal Escherichia coli (ExPEC) had previously been linked to a combination of antimicrobial resistance and certain virulence factors. The adherence properties of these sequence types to gastro-intestinal epithelial cells had not been investigated. A study was...
