Extensive diversity in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Group 3 capsules is driven by recombination and plasmid transfer from multiple species

2023-04-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacterial capsules provide protection against environmental challenges and host immunity. Historically, Escherichia coli K serotyping scheme, which relies on the hypervariable capsules, has identified around 80 K forms that fall into four distinct groups. Based on recent work by us and others, we predicted that E. coli capsular diversity is grossly underestimated. We exploited Group 3 capsule...
