Uncoupling between core genome and virulome in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are among the most frequently isolated bacterial pathogens in hospitals. They are considered opportunistic pathogens and are found mostly in urinary and bloodstream infections. They are genetically diverse, and many studies have sought associations between genotypes or virulence genes and infection site, severity, or outcome, with varied, often contradictory,...
