Genomic diversity of <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates from healthy children in rural Gambia

2020-08-29

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the genomic diversity of Escherichia coli in healthy children from sub-Saharan Africa, even though this is pertinent to understanding bacterial evolution and ecology and their role in infection. We isolated and whole-genome sequenced up to five colonies of faecal E. coli from 66 asymptomatic children aged three-to-five years in rural Gambia (n=88 isolates from 21 positive stools). We identi...
