DOI: 10.1093/lambio/ovac016
Abstract: Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) associated infections are significant health concerns for both animals and humans. ExPEC strains are associated with various infections in humans, i.e. urinary tract infections, meningitis, septicemia, and other infections. Over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofz431
Abstract: Abstract Background A few extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) multilocus sequence types (STs) cause the majority of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs). We examine the genomic epidemiology of major ExPEC lineages, specifically factors associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01662-21
Abstract: Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is an important pathogen causing systemic infections in humans and animals. The competition for iron between ExPEC and the host is a determinant for ExPEC to establish a successful infection.… read more here.
