Molecular epidemiology of extraintestinal pathogenic (uropathogenic) Escherichia coli
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2005 Molecular epidemiological analyses of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which are also called "uropathogenic E. coli" since they are the principle pathogens in urinary tract infection, involve structured observations of E. coli as they occur in the wild.

High Recombinant Frequency in Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coliStrains [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2015 Homologous recombination promotes genetic diversity by facilitating the integration of foreign DNA and intrachromosomal gene shuffling. It has been hypothesized that if recombination is variable among strains, selection should favor higher recombination rates among pathogens, as they face additional selection pressures from host defenses.

Population Phylogenomics of Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coli
Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACTThe emergence of genomics over the last 10 years has provided new insights into the evolution and virulence of extraintestinalEscherichia coli. By combining population genetics and phylogenetic approaches to analyze whole-genome sequences, it became possible to link genomic features to specific phenotypes, such as the ability to cause urinary ...

Haemolytic-uraemic syndrome with bacteraemia caused by a new hybrid Escherichia coli pathotype
New Microbes and New Infections, 2014 We describe a new atypical Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) responsible for a severe episode of haemolytic–uraemic syndrome in an adult with a relapse associated with bacteraemia. This STECs train of serotype O80:H2 harboured stx2c and stx2d

Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131-H22 in Parrots from Illegal Pet Trade, Brazil, 2024
Emerging Infectious DiseasesEscherichia coli sequence type 131:H:22 is a consequential lineage of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, associated with human pyelonephritis and sepsis. We report the transmission of avian pathogenic E. coli in a parrot rehabilitation center in Brazil
