Higher frequency of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli within a sub- group of B2 phylogroup strains
O'Brien, Claire; Gordon, David; Pavli, Paul
Description
Background Adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) are associated with Crohn’s disease. There is no defining molecular characteristic of these strains, and identification relies on laborious phenotypic testing. A recent AIEC genome comparison study of ours showed that AIEC strains belonging to sequence type 95 (ST95) of the B2 phylogroup, with an O18:H7 serotype, are more likely to be AIEC. The aim of this study was to compare a larger set of ST95 strains, to determine whether or not AIEC strains are...[Show more]
