Abstract excerpt
Most human invasive infections caused by extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are associated with a limited number of O-serotypes and O-serogroups, including O101/O162. Here, we examined E. coli O101/O162 O-serogroup epidemiology among bacteremia isolates and performed genetic, biochemical and structural analyses. We demonstrate that the O101/O162 O-serogroup is globally widespread and highly...
