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

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 emerged in
the 2000s as important human pathogens, have spread extensively throughout the world …

In 2008, a previously unknown Escherichia coli clonal group, sequence type 131 (ST131),
was identified on three continents. Today, ST131 is the predominant E. coli lineage among …

The Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) clone is notorious for extraintestinal
infections, fluoroquinolone resistance, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) …

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) has emerged globally as the most predominant
extraintestinal pathogenic lineage within this clinically important species, and its association …

Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) have a complex phylogeny, broad
virulence factor (VF) armament and significant genomic plasticity, and are associated with a …

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is an extensively antimicrobial-resistant E. coli
clonal group that has spread explosively throughout the world. Recent molecular …

Abstract Background. Fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli are increasingly prevalent.
Their clonal origins—potentially critical for control efforts—remain undefined. Methods …

Abstract Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) pose a significant threat to
human and animal health. However, the diversity and antibiotic resistance of animal ExPEC …

The aim of this study was to construct a valid publicly available method for in silico fimH
subtyping of Escherichia coli particularly suitable for differentiation of fine-resolution …
