Molecular, phenotypic, and genomic characterization of UPEC/EAEC hybrid Escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infections in Northeastern Brazil
2026-08-25
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections worldwide, with uropathogenic <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> (UPEC) as the leading etiological agent. The high genetic plasticity of <italic>E. coli</italic> facilitates horizontal gene transfer and the emergence of hybrid pathogenic strains carrying virulence determinants from distinct pathotypes...
