Comprehensive genomic characterization of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from neonates: multiple center insights into virulence, resistance, and transmission dynamics

Neonatal extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which can cause severe long-term sequelae by systemic infections, is gradually becoming the primary pathogen threatening neonatal health. The lack of large-scale genomic epidemiological investigation hinders further un...
