Genomic Epidemiology of Major Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli Lineages Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Young Women Across Canada
8 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background A few extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) multilocus sequence types (STs) cause the majority of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs). We examine the genomic epidemiology of major ExPEC lineages, specifically factors associated with intestinal acquisition.
