Seventeen Escherichia coli isolates from dogs with urinary tract infection (UTI) were characterized with respect to phylogenetic background and virulence genotype and were compared with the E. coli reference (ECOR) collection and with human clinical isolates with similar serotypes from patients with diverse extraintestinal infections. Most of the canine urine isolates were from (virulence-associated) E. coli phylogenetic groups B2 or D, expressed papG allele III, and exhibited numerous other…

Virulence genotypes, antibiotic resistance and the phylogenetic background of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections of dogs and cats in Brazil.
Identification of Urovirulence Traits in Escherichia coli by Comparison of Urinary and Rectal E. coli Isolates from Dogs with Urinary Tract Infection
TLDR
It is suggested that UTI pathogenesis is similar in dogs and humans, added support for the special-pathogenicity over the prevalence hypothesis of UTI Pathogenesis is provided, and numerous specific virulence-associated factors are identified as significant correlates of urovirulence.
Virulence Genotypes and Phylogenetic Background of Escherichia coli Serogroup O6 Isolates from Humans, Dogs, and Cats
TLDR
The close similarity in the genomic backbone and virulence genotype between certain human- and animal-source E. coli isolates within serogroup O6 supports the hypothesis of zoonotic potential.
The Characterization of Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Cats and Dogs
The aims of the study were to perform phylogenetic grouping, to detect the virulence associated genes in Escherichia coli strains recovered from the urinary tract infections of dogs and cats, and to…
Phylogenetic grouping and pathotypic comparison of urine and fecal Escherichia coli isolates from children with urinary tract infection
TLDR
A considerable difference between UPEC and commensal E. coli isolates was observed regarding their phylogenetic groups, presence of class 1 integron and hlyD gene, hemolysin activity and resistance pattern.
Heterogeneity among Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Profiles of Extraintestinal Escherichia coli Isolates of Animal and Human Origin
TLDR
Data demonstrate that extraintestinal isolates of E. coli can possess relatively distinct intra- and intergroup resistance gene profiles, with animal isolates presenting a more heterogeneous group than human isolates.
Phenotypical characterization and adhesin identification in Escherichia coli strains isolated from dogs with urinary tract infections
TLDR
Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli isolated from dogs with UTIs were submitted to biochemical tests, serotyping for O and H antigens and antimicrobial resistance testing, and genetic relationships were established using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR).
Phenotypical characterization and adhesin identification in Escherichia coli strains isolated from dogs with urinary tract infections
TLDR
Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli isolated from dogs with UTIs were submitted to biochemical tests, serotyping for O and H antigens and antimicrobial resistance testing, and genetic relationships were established using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR).
Extended Virulence Genotype of Pathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates Carrying the afa-8 Operon: Evidence of Similarities between Isolates from Humans and Animals with Extraintestinal Infections
TLDR
The similarities betweenAnimal and human ExPEC strains support the hypothesis of overlapping populations, with members of certain clones or clonal groups including animal and human strains.
Phylogenetic distribution of virulence-associated genes among Escherichia coli isolates associated with neonatal bacterial meningitis in the Netherlands.
TLDR
Novel insights are provided into the phylogenetic origins of NBM-associated E. coli and numerous new potential targets for preventive interventions against this dire disease are suggested.

Isolation and comparison of Escherichia coli strains from canine and human patients with urinary tract infections
TLDR
It is concluded that the uropathogen colonizing the bladders of dog can also be the predominant strain Colonizing the intestinal tracts, and similar E. coli Uropathogens may be capable of infecting both dogs and humans.
Molecular comparison of extraintestinal Escherichia coli isolates of the same electrophoretic lineages from humans and domestic animals.
TLDR
Findings support the hypothesis that certain pathogenic lineages of E. coli cause disease in both humans and animals and that humans may acquire pathogenic E.E. coli from domestic pets.
Escherichia coli O18:K1:H7 isolates from patients with acute cystitis and neonatal meningitis exhibit common phylogenetic origins and virulence factor profiles.
TLDR
The demonstrated commonality between O18:K1:H7 isolates from cystitis and NBM suggests common pathogenetic mechanisms and the possibility of new approaches to prevention.
Evidence of Commonality between Canine and Human Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strains That ExpresspapG Allele III
TLDR
It is demonstrated that canine ExPec strains are similar to, and in some instances essentially indistinguishable from, human ExPEC strains, which implicates dogs and their feces as potential reservoirs of E. coli with infectious potential for humans.
Serotypes and virulence factors of Escherichia coli strains isolated from dogs and cats.
E. coli strains isolated from urine of dogs and cats with urinary tract infections (UTI) and from feces of healthy one's were serotyped, and the serotypes were correlated with uropathogenic virulence…
Extended virulence genotypes of Escherichia coli strains from patients with urosepsis in relation to phylogeny and host compromise.
TLDR
These findings provide novel insights into the VFs of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli and demonstrate the new PCR assay's utility for molecular epidemiological studies.
Genetic relationships among Escherichia coli isolates causing urinary tract infections in humans and animals.
TLDR
The recovery of multiple isolates of the same electrophoretic types and serotypes from unassociated hosts suggests that these bacteria represent uropathogenic clones that are widely disseminated in humans and animals.
Clonal relationships among Escherichia coli serogroup 06 isolates from human and animal infections.
TLDR
The clonal relationship of thirty E. coli strains of 0 antigen serotype 06 isolated from human, dog, pig or cow infections were investigated, indicating that animals are a possible source for human extraintestinal Escherichia coli strains.
Genomic analysis of a pathogenicity island in uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073: distribution of homologous sequences among isolates from patients with pyelonephritis, cystitis, and Catheter-associated bacteriuria and from fecal samples.
TLDR
These sequences were found significantly more often in strains associated with the clinical syndromes of acute pyelonephritis and cystitis than in those associated with catheter-associated bacteriuria and in fecal strains.
Pathogenicity island sequences of pyelonephritogenic Escherichia coli CFT073 are associated with virulent uropathogenic strains
TLDR
Defined blocks of DNA termed pathogenicity islands have been found in uropathogenic strains to carry genes not generally found in fecal strains, and one of these regions of DNA within the chromosome of the highly virulent E. coli CFT073, isolated from the blood and urine of a woman with acute pyelonephritis is identified.
