T1 - Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Related to Uropathogenic Clonal Group A T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 5 SP - 757 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are heterogeneous, diarrheagenic E. coli. Of EAEC strains from Nigeria, 10 independent antimicrobial-resistant isolates belonged to the multilocus sequence type 69 clonal complex, to which uropathogenic E. coli clonal group A belongs. This finding suggests a recent common ancestor for these distinct groups of pathogenic E. coli.
