The population-level impact of Enterococcus faecalis genetics on intestinal colonization and extraintestinal infection
9 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal bacterium of the human gastrointestinal tract that causes opportunistic infections. The E. faecalis genetic changes associated with pathogenicity, particularly gut-to-bloodstream translocation, remain poorly understood. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 736 whole-genome sequences of fecal and bloodstream E. faecalis isolates from...
