Bacterial genome-wide association study substantiates papGII of Escherichia coli as a major risk factor for urosepsis

Abstract Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Multiple bacterial virulence factors or patient characteristics have been linked separately to progressive, more invasive infections. In this...
