Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative pathogens are a major
cause of resistance to expanded-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. Since their discovery in the …

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 …

Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global health challenge in human and veterinary
medicine. Wild animals are not directly exposed to clinically relevant antibiotics; however …

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is an extensively antimicrobial-resistant E. coli
