Differential Afa/Dr Fimbriae Expression in the Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli ST131 Clone [PDF]
Many antibiotic resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains belong to clones defined by their multilocus sequence type (ST), with ST131 being the most dominant.

Phenotypic microarrays suggest Escherichia coli ST131 is not a metabolically distinct lineage of extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli. [PDF]
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.

Intestinal Colonization Traits of Pandemic Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli ST131 [PDF]
Epidemiological studies point to the gut as a key reservoir of multidrug resistant Escherichia coli multilocus sequence type 131 (ST131), a globally dominant pathogenic clone causing urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Here we report a detailed investigation of its intestinal lifestyle.Clinical ST131 isolates and type 1 fimbriae null mutants were

Comparison ofEscherichia coliST131 Pulsotypes, by Epidemiologic Traits, 1967–2009 [PDF]
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131), an emerging disseminated public health threat, causes multidrug-resistant extraintestinal infections. Among 579 diverse E. coli ST131 isolates from 1967-2009, we compared pulsotypes (>94% similar XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles) by collection year, geographic origin, source, and antimicrobial ...

Emergence and spread of B2-ST131-O25b, B2-ST131-O16 and D-ST405 clonal groups among extended-spectrum- -lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in Japan [PDF]
The increasing prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been associated with the emergence of the CTX-M-producing sequence type 131 (ST131) pandemic clonal group, a member of the O25b serogroup and the B2 phylogenetic group. To assess the clonal spread of ESBL-producing E.

Background: Commensal extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli isolates in the gut can be the reservoir of virulence factors and resistance genes. Objectives: We investigated the molecular feature, risk factors, and quinolone/fluoroquinolone (Q/FQ) resistance in sequence type 131 (ST131) and non-ST131: ESBL-producing E. coli (EPE)
