Phenotypic and genotypic changes over time and across facilities of serial colonizing and infecting Escherichia coli isolates recovered from injured service members.

Our objective was to evaluate the phenotypic and genotypic changes of infecting and colonizing E. coli organisms over time and across facilities to better understand their transmission patterns.
