Population structure, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence factors of diabetic foot-associated <i>E. coli</i>
2025-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Diabetic foot infections (DFI) are a major complication of diabetes, often leading to lower limb amputations. Escherichia coli is a predominant Gram-negative pathogen in DFI, yet its genomic and pathogenic features remain poorly characterised. Here, we present a whole genome sequence-based analysis of diabetic foot-associated E. coli (DFEC) isolates from diverse geographical locations. Phylogenetic reconstructio...
