Phylogenetic Grouping and Assessment of Virulence Genotypes, With Antibiotic Resistance Patterns, of Escherichia Coli Strains Implicated in Female Urinary Tract Infections

Background: Escherichia coli strains are common pathogens that can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). They are classified into phylogroups based on three genetic markers: chuA, yjaA, and TspE4.C2. The E. coli strains that cause UTIs possess several genes that encode urovirulent factors and antim...
