    Abstract: Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a pandemic clone causing predominantly community and hospital-onset antimicrobial-resistant infections. Recently, H30-Rx subclone of E. coli has been disseminated among ST131 strains in combination with beta lactamase subtype CTX-15that may play a role in the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among E....
