E. coli catheter-associated urinary tract infections are associated with distinctive virulence and biofilm gene determinants
Urinary catheterization facilitates urinary tract colonization by E. coli and increases infection risk. Here, we aimed to identify strain-specific characteristics associated with the transition from colonization to infection in catheterized patients. In a single-site study population, we compared E....
