Escherichia coli is a commensal of the vertebrate gut that is increasingly involved in various
intestinal and extra-intestinal infections as an opportunistic pathogen. Numerous pathotypes …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health threat. With the rise of affordable
whole genome sequencing, in silico approaches to assessing AMR gene content can be …

Colistin has become the last-line antimicrobial for the treatment of multidrug resistant (MDR)
Enterobacterales in human medicine. To date, several colistin resistance genes have been …

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has proven to be the ultimate tool for bacterial isolate
characterization and relatedness determination. However, standardized and harmonized …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) contamination of agricultural water might be
an important factor to recent foodborne illness and outbreaks involving leafy greens. Closed …

To get a global picture of the population structure of the Escherichia coli phylogroup E,
encompassing the O157: H7 EHEC lineage, we analysed the whole genome of 144 strains …

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables complete characterization of bacterial
pathogenic isolates at single nucleotide resolution, making it the ultimate tool for routine …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important foodborne pathogen. The
increasing incidence of non-O157 STEC has posed a great risk to public health. Besides the …

Shiga toxin producing E. coli are a problem for food producers. STEC's require a
combination of virulence factors to cause disease, so ideally detection techniques should …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is one of the most frequent bacterial agents
associated with food-borne outbreaks in Europe. In humans, the infection can lead to life …
