Feb 11, 2019 · Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) is one of the main antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. Little data are available on how biofilm formation (BF) contributes to EC-caused bloodstream infection (BSI) in cancer patients. This study investigated the impact of BF on clinical outcomes of cancer patients with EC-caused ...

These bacteria can cause host DNA damage by genotoxic substances, including colibactin secreted by pks + Escherichia coli, B. fragilis toxin (BFT) produced by Bacteroides fragilis, and typhoid toxin (TT) from Salmonella.
Aug 30, 2024 · Given that approximately half of bacterial genomes encode at least one capsule biosynthetic cluster , especially in extra-intestinal virulent B2 phylogroup E. coli strains , the overproduction of capsules for phage resistance might be more common than previously thought.
