Molecularly defined extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli status predicts virulence in a murine sepsis model better than does virotype, individual virulence genes, or clonal subset among E. coli ST131 isolates
Background: Escherichia coli ST131, mainly its H30 clade, is the leading cause of extraintestinal E. coli infections but its correlates of virulence are undefined. Materials and methods: We tested in a murine sepsis model 84 ST131 isolates that differed by country of origin (Spain vs. USA), clonal s...
