Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli is an important pathogen involved in community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs). In this study, we analyzed the prevalence of frequently occurring genes and the distribution of integrons in 51 multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli isolates associated with CA-UTIs. The clonality of these strains was investigated by phylogrouping, multi-locus sequence typing, and pulsed-field gel...
