Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli sequence type 69 (ST69; "clonal group A") is an important extraintestinal pathogen. To clarify the yersiniabactin siderophore system's role in ST69's extraintestinal virulence we compared a wild-type ST69 cystitis isolate, isogenic irp2 (yersiniabactin) mutants, and irp2-complemented mutants in murine models of sepsis and urinary tract infection (UTI). irp2 mutants were attenuated mildly in the...
