Genomic profile of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from prosthetic joint infections: The search for molecular fingerprints.

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli is a key pathogen in extraintestinal infections, including prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), which account for approximately 9% of all such cases. Despite its clinical relevance, the molecular pathogenesis of E. coli in PJIs remains poorly defined. This study investigated the clinical, phylogenetic, and virulence profiles of E. coli isolates from PJIs and compared them to isolates from...
