Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli serogroup O25b-sequence type 131 (E. coli O25-B2-ST131) is considered as multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent organism. There is lack of data about involvement of this pathogen in the children's infection. In this study, the prevalence, and clonality, virulence capacity, and antibiotic resistance phenotype and genotype of E. coli O25-B2-ST131 compared with non-O25-B2-ST131 isolates...
