Genome-Wide Discovery of Genes Required for Capsule Production by Uropathogenic <italic toggle="yes">Escherichia coli</italic>

ABSTRACT Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a major cause of urinary tract and bloodstream infections and possesses an array of virulence factors for colonization, survival, and persistence. One such factor is the polysaccharide K capsule. Among the different K capsule types, the K1 serotype i...
