Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance globally. This study compares the genomic and resistance profiles of UPEC isolates from male and female patients. METHODS: Sixty-two UPEC isolates (31 male, 31 female) were characterized using antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing,...
