High pathogenicity island, <i>aer</i> and <i>sit</i> operons: a “ménage à trois” in <i>Escherichia coli</i> extra-intestinal virulence
2022-11-25
Abstract excerpt
The intrinsic virulence of extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli is attributed to numerous chromosome and/or plasmid-borne virulence associated genes (VAGs), encoding diverse functions as adhesins, toxins, protectins and iron capture systems, which occur in specific genetic backgrounds. Little is however known on their respective contribution to virulence. Here, by analyzing genomes of 232 sequence type co...
