Sequential acquisition of virulence and fluoroquinolone resistance has shaped the evolution of <i>Escherichia coli</i> ST131
2016-02-09
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli ST131 is the most frequently isolated fluoroquinolone resistant (FQR) E. coli clone worldwide and a major cause of urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Although originally identified through its association with the CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance gene, global genomic epidemiology studies have failed to resolve the geographical and temporal origin of the ST131 ancestor.
