The <scp>C</scp> lermont <i> <scp>E</scp> scherichia coli </i> phylo‐typing method revisited: improvement of specificity and detection of new phylo‐groups

Abstract excerpt

There is extensive genetic substructure within the species Escherichia coli. In 2000 a simple triplex PCR method was described by Clermont and colleagues that enables an E. coli isolate to be assigned to one of the phylo-groups A, B1, B2 or D. The growing body of multi-locus sequence data and genome data for E. coli has refined our understanding of E. coli's phylo-group structure and eight phylo-groups are now...
