Abstract excerpt
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), especially uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs), while diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) cause foodborne illnesses. These pathogenic E. coli are a serious threat to human health and a public concern worldwi...
