Population dynamics of an Escherichia coli ST131 lineage during recurrent urinary tract infection

Population dynamics of an Escherichia coli ST131 lineage during recurrent urinary tract infection

Recurrent urinary tract infections occur in ~ 25% of women. Here, Beatson and colleagues use whole genome sequencing to track the dynamics of an E. coli ST131 clone in a single patient over a 5-year period. This study provides unique insights into pathogen evolution during recurrent urinary infectio...
