SUMMARY Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are responsible for a
majority of human extraintestinal infections globally, resulting in enormous direct medical …

Although extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are designated by their
isolation site and grouped based on the type of host and the disease they cause, most …

Abstract Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are one of the main bacteria
causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). The rates of UPEC with high resistance towards …

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Escherichia coli have been historically managed
with oral antibiotics including the cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and trimethoprim …

Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a major medical problem, especially in the elderly
and infirm, but the nature of the reservoir of organisms responsible for survival and …

Large-scale bacterial genome sequencing efforts to date have provided limited information
on the most prevalent category of disease: sporadically acquired infections caused by …

In Europe, the mean incidence of urinary tract infections in intensive care units is 1.1 per
1000 patient‐days. Of these cases, catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) …

Shiga toxin (Stx) is the key virulent factor in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
To date, three Stx1 subtypes and seven Stx2 subtypes have been described in E. coli, which …

Current antibiotics cannot eradicate uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilms,
leading to recurrent urinary tract infections. Here, we show that the insect antimicrobial …

Porcine faecal waste is a serious environmental pollutant. Carriage of antimicrobial-
resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence-associated genes (VAGs), and the zoonotic …
