Spatial clusters of dominant lineages of uropathogenic Escherichia coli in a community dwelling patient population
We found spatial clusters of community-onset bacteriuria caused by predominant ST lineages, suggesting common-source outbreaks. This novel approach may inform future surveillance efforts to reduce community transmission of AMR UPEC and provides the basis for future investigations of environmental risk factors for AMR UTI.
