Association of Antibiotic Resistance Traits in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Isolates

Abstract

Both the phenotypic and genetic resistance traits were found in the UPEC isolates. Statistical association and coselection phenomena among AMR phenotypes and genotypes were also observed but required to be validated in a broad-scale study. However, these findings might have important implications for the development of an AMR prediction model to tackle future AMR outbreaks.
