Household Clustering of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131 Clinical and Fecal Isolates According to Whole Genome Sequence Analysis

In a whole genome-based phylogeny, clinical and fecal isolates of Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (H30R1 and H30Rx subclones) from six households formed household-specific clusters, interspersed among reference ST131 genomes. This supported the fecal-urethral hypothesis and confirmed within-house...
