The abrupt expansion of Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 is unmatched among Gram negative bacteria. In many ways, ST131 can be considered a real-world model for the complexities involved in the evolution of a multidrug resistant pathogen. While much progress has been made on our insights into the organism's population structure, pathogenicity and drug resistance profile, significant gaps in our knowledge...
