ABSTRACT
Aim:
To analyze ST131 clones and other characteristics in uropathogenic and atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli hybrids.Methods:
Samples were collected from children with urinary tract infections and underwent testing for antimicrobial susceptibility, multidrug resistance and extended-spectrum ß-lactamases, in vitro biofilm formation and virulence, resistance genes, hybrid pathotypes and ST131 clones.Results:
E. coli isolates showed high levels of antibiotic resistance, extended-spectrum ß-lactamase production, virulence genes, multidrug resistance and biofilm formation. Four (5.0%) isolates were identified as uropathogenic/atypical enteropathogenic E. coli hybrids, all of which belonged to the high-risk ST131 clone.Conclusion:
Our results provide promising insights about hybrid isolates and should be addressed to improve prevention measures for hybrid pathotypes.Palabras clave
