Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association of Escherichia coli microbiological factors with 30-day mortality in patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) presenting with a dysregulated response to infection (i.e. sepsis or septic shock).

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on characterizing *Escherichia coli* (E. coli) blood isolates that cause sepsis or septic shock, as these infections are common and often severe, leading to critical health outcomes in affected patients.
- - Data from a multicenter study in Spain involved whole-genome sequencing of E. coli blood isolates from patients over 14 with diagnosed sepsis or septic shock, identifying various microbiological features, including phylogroups, sequence types, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.
- - Results showed that most isolates belonged to phylogenetic group 1, with specific sequence types such as ST131 and ST73 being the most common, but there were no significant geographical
