Characterization and rapid identification of phylogroup G in Escherichia coli, a lineage with high virulence and antibiotic resistance potential
The phylogeny of the Escherichia coli species, with the identification of seven phylogroups
(A, B1, B2, C, D, E and F), is linked to the lifestyle of the strains. With the accumulation of …
