Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome sequencing has enabled detailed studies on bacterial evolution during infection, but there is limited knowledge on intraclonal variation. In this study, we sought to provide a snapshot of the intraclonal diversity of Escherichia coli as both commensal in the faecal environment and pathogen during urinary tract infection, respectively. This was performed by whole-genome sequencing and analyses of...
