AI Article Synopsis
- Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is linked to various human diseases.
- Chickens may serve as reservoirs for strains of ExPEC that are resistant to fluoroquinolones (FQ).
- The study presents the whole-genome sequences of four E. coli strains from both humans and birds in Italy, all classified under the same sequence type (ST410).
Article Abstract
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is involved in a wide spectrum of human diseases. Chickens have been suggested as reservoirs for fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant ExPEC strains. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of 4 E. coli strains sharing the same sequence type (ST) (ST410) and that were isolated from human and avian sources in Italy.
