Virulence Factor Genes in Invasive <i>Escherichia coli</i> Are Associated with Clinical Outcomes and Disease Severity in Patients with Sepsis: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Virulence Factor Genes in Invasive <i>Escherichia coli</i> Are Associated with Clinical Outcomes and Disease Severity in Patients with Sepsis: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Background: <i>Escherichia coli</i> harbours virulence factors that facilitate the development of bloodstream infections. Studies determining virulence factors in clinical isolates often have limited access to clinical data and lack associations with patient outcome. The goal of this stu...
