Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is becoming endemic in health care settings around the world. Baseline data on virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of specific lineages of E. coli circulating in developing countries like India is currently lacking. METHODS: Whole-genome sequencing was performed for 60 MDR E. coli isolates. The analysis was...
