Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli is a major pathogen in bloodstream infections (BSIs), with increasing concern over antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the evolving pathogenic potential of phylogroups traditionally considered commensal. This study investigates the genetic characteristics of E. coli isolates causing BSIs in India, with a focus on phylogroups A to F. METHODS: 204 E. coli bloodstream isolates received at...
