Distribution of virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from hospitalized neonates: A multi-center study across China
Neonatal <i>E. coli</i> isolates carried multiple virulence genes and were highly resistant to antibiotics. Further studies are needed to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the association between virulence and AMR.
