This study examines genotype dependence of virulence-associated genes in ESBL-producing E. coli from UTI patients, finding ST131 strains show distinct virulence gene repertoires and lower sepsis rates.

This study evaluates the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria from Japan, showing high susceptibility rates compared to other antibiotics.

This study identifies phage genes that inactivate bacterial immune systems by testing gene deletions in a phage library against bacterial defense systems.
