Pathogenic potential in catheter-associated <i>Escherichia coli</i> is associated with separable biofilm and virulence gene determinants
2021-07-17
Abstract excerpt
Urinary catheterization facilitates Escherichia coli colonization of the urinary tract and increases infection risk. While specific pathotypes are well-recognized for some E. coli infections, it is unclear whether strain-specific characteristics among E. coli are associated with infection risk in catheterized patients. Here we used comparative genomics and a simulated catheter biofilm model to compare strains a...
