“Population structure of Drug-Susceptible, -Resistant and ESBL-producing Escherichia coli from Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections”

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI). The pathogenic isolates are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics; with a worldwide dissemination of resistant sequence types (ST). We characterized three different uropathogenic E. coli populations, from non-hospitalized patients to describe the genetic kinship between resistant and susceptible isolates. We studied...
