Major role of iron uptake systems in the intrinsic extra-intestinal virulence of the genus <i>Escherichia</i> revealed by a genome-wide association study
2019-07-23
Abstract excerpt
The genus Escherichia is composed of several species and cryptic clades, including E. coli , which behave as a vertebrate gut commensal, but also as an opportunistic pathogen involved in both diarrheic and extra-intestinal diseases. To characterize the genetic determinants of extra-intestinal virulence within the genus, we carried out an unbiased genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 370 commensal, pathogenic...
