Genotype dependence of virulence-associated genes in ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolated from the blood of patients with urinary tract infections
2024-08-22
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 80% of urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli in UPEC isolates belonging to specific multilocus sequence-type clones is a global concern. Relations between the pathogenicity of UPEC virulence factors and genotype have been discussed. However, the specific virulence factors and genoty...
