Together with E. coli strain ST131-H30, these strains are the major causes of a global pandemic of multi-drug-resistant urinary tract infections among all women.

E. coli is among an alarming number of disease-causing bacteria that have become resistant to several types of antibiotics. Resistance means that the antibiotics can’t kill the bacteria.

Different strains of E.coli can outcompete one another to take over the gut, a new study reveals. Publishing their findings today in PLOS Biology, scientists reveal that a particular strain, known ...

The E. coli bacteria cultures were observed over a 60-day period, ample time to account for antibiotic activity, or lack thereof, at any level of antidepressant concentration.

Multidrug-resistant E. coli encoding high genetic diversity in carbohydrate metabolism genes displace commensal E. coli from the intestinal tract. PLOS Biology, 2023; 21 (10): e3002329 DOI: 10. ...

A version of E coli known as ST410 became the most common strain of drug-resistant E. coli in Chinese hospitals from 2017 to 2021. The latest strain, which was described in the new study, is stronger ...

High levels of E. coli were found in uncooked meats and raw dog food sold in U.K. grocery stores, according to research presented last week at the ESCMID Global Congress in Barcelona.
