Background Escherichia coli (E. coli) O25b/ST131 clone causes urinary tract infection (UTI) and is associated with a broad spectrum of other infections, such as intra-abdominal and soft tissue infections, that can be affecting bloodstream infections ...

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 ...

Novel genes associated with enhanced motility of Escherichia coli ST131
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the cause of ~75% of all urinary tract infections (UTIs) and is increasingly associated with multidrug resistance. This includes UPEC strains from the recently emerged and globally disseminated sequence type 131 (ST131), which is now the dominant fluoroquinolone-resistant UPEC clone worldwide. Most ST131 strains

Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant CTX-M-15 β-lactamase-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolate (ST131-O25b-H30) from Pakistan exhibiting high potential virulence [PDF]
Objectives: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTI). The pandemic ST131 clonal type is associated with multidrug resistance and virulence.

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection
ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.

When Carbapenem-Hydrolyzing β-Lactamase KPC Meets Escherichia coli ST131 in France [PDF]
Carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli isolates, though rare, can be attributed to outer membrane protein deficiency coupled with plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) or class C β-lactamases ([2][1], [10][2], [11][3]) or to carbapenemases. The latter can be either metallo-β-

mcr-Positive Escherichia coli ST131-H22 from Poultry in Brazil [PDF]
Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 is of concern because it can acquire antimicrobial resistance and cause extraintestinal infections. E. coli ST131-H22 sublineage appears capable of being transmitted to humans through poultry. We report on multidrug-resistant ST131-H22 poultry isolates in Brazil closely related to international human and poultry ...
