Genomic characterization of Multi-Drug Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Urinary tract infections associated with Escherichia coli are growing threat with the increased prevalence of multidrug resistant strains. In this study comparative genomics and phenotypic approaches were used to characterise ten community-acquired multidrug resistant UPEC isolates recovered from UTI patients in Riyadh between November 2014 and January 2015. Both chromosomal and plasmid sequencing libraries were prepared and sequenced in Bioscience Core Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
