Population structure of Japanese extraintestinal pathogenic<i>Escherichia coli</i>and its relationship with antimicrobial resistance Open
More than half of the ExPEC population in Japan consisted of 11 major clones. Of these clones, the CH40-30-ST131-C/H30 clone was the predominant antimicrobial-resistant population. The presence of major clones with low-level ciprofloxacin …
