Global Incidence of Carbapenemase-ProducingEscherichia coliST131
We characterized Escherichia coli ST131 isolates among 116 carbapenemase-producing strains. Of isolates from 16 countries collected during 2008-2013, 35% belonged to ST131 and were associated with blaKPC, H30 lineage, and virotype C. This study documents worldwide incidents of resistance to "last resort" antimicrobial drugs among a common pathogen in a

Molecular epidemiological analysis of Escherichia coli sequence type ST131 (O25:H4) and bla CTX-M-15among extended-spectrum-β- lactamase-producing E. coli from the United States, 2000 to 2009 [PDF]
Escherichia coli sequence type ST131 (from phylogenetic group B2), often carrying the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) gene bla , is an emerging globally disseminated pathogen that has received comparatively little attention in the United States ...

UropathogenicEscherichia coliST131 in urinary tract infections in children [PDF]
Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131, a multidrug-resistant clone causing extraintestinal infections, has rapidly become prevalent worldwide. However, the epidemiological and clinical features of pediatric infections are poorly understood. We aimed to explore the characteristics of ST131 Escherichia coli isolated from Korean children with urinary ...

Antibiotic prophylaxis is associated with subsequent resistant infections in children with an initial extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection [PDF]
The objective of this study was to assess the association between previous antibiotic use, particularly long-term prophylaxis, and the occurrence of subsequent resistant infections in children with index infections due to extended-spectrum-cephalosporin ...

The role of H4 flagella in Escherichia coli ST131 virulence [PDF]
AbstractEscherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a globally dominant multidrug resistant clone associated with urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Most ST131 strains exhibit resistance to multiple antibiotics and cause infections associated with limited treatment options. The largest sub-clonal ST131 lineage is resistant to fluoroquinolones,

Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]
Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,
