Abstract:IntroductionRecurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli are costly public health problems impacting patients’ quality of life.AimIn this work, a comparative genomics analysis of three clinical RUTI strains isolated from bladder biopsy specimens was performed.Materials and methodsOne hundred seventy-two whole genomes of urinary tract E. coli strains were selected from the NCBI database. The search for virulence factors, fitness genes, regions of interest, and genetic elem… Show more
