Complete genomes of diverse Escherichia coli isolates lacking canonical virulence factors from pediatric sources

Puntos clave

The research aims to explore the genomic diversity of E. coli isolates that do not have known virulence factors.
Analyzed complete genomes of E. coli isolates.
Focused on isolates from pediatric sources.
Investigated lack of canonical virulence gene markers.
Identified diverse E. coli genomes in children.
Isolates lacked canonical virulence factors commonly associated with pathogenic strains.
Provided insights into non-pathogenic variants of E. coli.

Resumen

ABSTRACT Knowledge of the genomic diversity of Escherichia coli is largely derived from the pathogenic isolates associated with human or animal infection. We describe the complete genomes of E. coli isolates lacking canonical virulence gene markers from children enrolled in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study.
