Genomovar-level resolution reveals rapid pathotype switching and genomovar-specific disease potential in diarrheagenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> populations in northern Ecuador

2026-08-28

Abstract excerpt

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) pathotypes are commonly defined by molecular detection of discrete virulence genes, yet how quickly these diagnostic genes emerge and move among co-circulating lineages remain unclear. Here, we classified 248 whole-genome-sequenced E. coli isolates from the EcoZUR case-control study in northern Ecuador into intra-species genomovar units using the recently described 99.5% ANI...
