Genome-wide detection of fitness genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli during systemic infection.

Genome-wide detection of fitness genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli during systemic infection.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a leading etiological agent of bacteremia in humans. Virulence mechanisms of UPEC in the context of urinary tract infections have been subjected to extensive research. However, understanding of the fitness mechanisms used by UPEC during bacteremia and systemi...
