Abstract
ABSTRACTEscherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host. This asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) can protect against recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection by virulent bacteria. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of nine E. coli ABU isolates from diabetic patients.
Highlights
Escherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host
The draft genomes of nine clinical asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) isolates from diabetic patients will serve as a useful source for upcoming comparative studies of E. coli isolate virulence- and fitness-related traits that promote efficient growth and competitiveness in urine
The identification of bacterial characteristics relevant for efficient and safe therapeutic bladder colonization will improve the application of bacterial interference
Summary
Escherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host.
