Genotypic and Phenotypic Traits That Distinguish Neonatal Meningitis-Associated Escherichia coli from Fecal E. coli Isolates of Healthy Human Hosts

Neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) is one of the top causes of neonatal meningitis worldwide. Here, 85 NMEC and 204 fecal E. coli isolates from healthy humans (HFEC) were compared for possession of traits related to virulence, antimicrobial resistance, and plasmid content. This comparison w...
