    The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics contributing to high virulence and antibiotics resistance in Escherichia coli O25-B2-ST131 in comparison to non- O25-B2-ST131

    Escherichia coli serogroup O25b-sequence type 131 (E. coli O25-B2-ST131) is considered as multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent organism. There is lack of data about involvement of this pathogen in the children’s...
