Comments
This strain can serve as a reference strain for E. coli Clonal Group A (CGA). The complete genome sequence of E. coli, strain UMN 026 is available (GenBank: CU928163). Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) possess virulence traits that allow them to invade, colonize, and induce disease in bodily sites outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Virulence factors of ExPEC belonging to a multidrug-resistant clonal group A (CGA) have been associated with urinary tract infections.
