Extraintestinal traits of pathogenicity and sequence type lineages in commensal Escherichia coli from adults and young children: genotypic and phenotypic profiles
26 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background The commensal Escherichia coli population may significantly influence the pathogenesis of extraintestinal infections. The assignment to specific sequence type (ST) lineages and the presence of particular combinations of virulence genes are characteristic features of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC)—although not exclusively. Extraintestinal virulence genes are also identified among commensal...
