Strain belonging to an emerging, virulent sublineage of ST131 Escherichia coli isolated in fresh spinach, suggesting that ST131 may be transmissible through agricultural products [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Food contamination with pathogenic Escherichia coli can cause severe disease. Here, we report the isolation of a multidrug resistant strain (A23EC) from fresh spinach.

Plasmid-Mediated Ciprofloxacin Resistance Imparts a Selective Advantage on Escherichia coli ST131
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2021 Escherichia coli ST131 is a recently emerged antibiotic resistant clone responsible for high rates of urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Despite its global dominance, the precise mechanisms that have driven the rapid dissemination of ST131 remain ...

Genotypic and Phenotypic Profiles of Escherichia coli Isolates Belonging to Clinical Sequence Type 131 (ST131), Clinical Non-ST131, and Fecal Non-ST131 Lineages from India [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2014 ABSTRACT In view of the epidemiological success of CTX-M-15-producing lineages of Escherichia coli and particularly of sequence type 131 (ST131), it is of significant interest to explore its prevalence in countries such as India and to determine if antibiotic resistance, virulence, metabolic potential, and/

Phenotypic microarrays suggest Escherichia coli ST131 is not a metabolically distinct lineage of extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli [PDF]
, 2014 Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) are the major aetiological agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in humans. The emergence of the CTX-M producing clone E. coli ST131 represents a major challenge to public health worldwide.

Plasmids Shape the Diverse Accessory Resistomes of Escherichia coli ST131 [PDF]
Access Microbiology, 2020 The human gut microbiome includes beneficial, commensal and pathogenic bacteria that possess antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and exchange these predominantly through conjugative plasmids. Escherichia coli is a significant component of the gastrointestinal microbiome and is typically non-pathogenic in this niche.

The evolutionary puzzle of Escherichia coli ST131.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020 The abrupt expansion of Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 is unmatched among Gram negative bacteria. In many ways, ST131 can be considered a real-world model for the complexities involved in the evolution of a multidrug resistant pathogen. While much progress has been made on our insights into the organism's population structure, pathogenicity ...

Epidemic Potential of Escherichia coli O16:H41-ST131: Compared with Pandemic O25b:H30-ST131 Lineage
Infection and Drug Resistance, 2021 O16:H41 is an important subclone among Escherichia coli (E. coli) sequence type (ST) 131, which has risen dramatically in recent years. However, reasons for the rapid increase of E. coli O16:H41-ST131 remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the pathogenicity and survivability features of E.

Escherichia coli O25b-ST131 and O16-ST131 causing urinary tract infection in women in Changsha, China: molecular epidemiology and clinical characteristics. [PDF]
Infection and drug resistance, 2019 This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Escherichia coli ST131 and molecularly characterize the O25b-ST131 and O16-ST131 subgroups among urinary tract infection (UTI) E. coli isolates from women in central China. We also assessed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of infections caused by E.
