Abstract:
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are a major cause of sepsis, with a high associated mortality. They are widely reported to be the most frequent Gram-negative bacterial pathogen recovered from bacteraemia of both community and nosocomial origin. The increasing emergence and spread of both multidrug resistant (MDR) and virulent strains threatens the effectiveness of current available antimicrobials.
