Genomic epidemiology of enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (EPEC) in southwestern Nigeria

2025-02-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are etiological agents of diarrhea. We studied the genetic diversity and virulence factors of EPEC in southwestern Nigeria, where this pathotype is rarely characterized. <h4>Methodology/ Principal findings</h4> EPEC isolates (n=96) recovered from recent southwestern Nigeria diarrhea case-control studies were whole genome-sequenced using Illumina tech...
