Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase- and plasmid AmpC- producing Escherichia coli causing community-onset bloodstream infection: the association of bacterial clones and virulence genes with septic shock, source of infection and recurrencies.

In conclusion, the most interesting finding is the association of iss with septic shock. Adhesins are important for UTI pathogenesis, while otherwise low-pathogenic isolates from the microbiota can cause post-prostate biopsy sepsis. PMID: 32423949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
