Comparative genomics and phenotypic studies to determine site-specificity of Escherichia coli in the lower gastrointestinal tract of humans

ABSTRACTEscherichia coli (E. coli) is an important commensal in the human gut; however, it is unknown whether strains show site-specificity in the lower gut. To investigate this, we assessed genotypic and phenotypic differences in 37 clone pairs (two strains with very similar multiple locus variable...
