Global distribution of O-serotypes and antibiotic resistance patterns in E. coli strains causing bloodstream infections among adults

This study assessed the global distribution of O-serotypes and antibiotic resistance patterns in E. coli strains causing bloodstream infections among adults. Data from 17 non-interventional studies were combined. Agglutination O-serotype, Whole-Genome Sequence-based O-genotype and antibiotic resistance data were collected for E. coli bloodstream isolates from subjects aged 18 years and older. Data were collected for isolates from the year 2011 through 2023 across 26 countries in four geographical regions, including North America, Latin America, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
