Escherichia coli Strains Belonging to Phylogenetic Group B2 Have Superior Capacity to Persist in the Intestinal Microflora of Infants
Abstract
Escherichia coli strains segregate into 4 phylogenetic groups, designated "A," "B1," "B2," and "D." Pathogenic strains belong to group B2 and, to a lesser extent, group D, which more frequently carry virulence-factor genes than do group A strains and group B1 strains. This study investigated whether the capacity of E. coli to persist in the human intestine is related to its phylogenetic type. Resident (n=58) and transient (n=19) commensal E. coli strains isolated during a longitudinal study of 70 Swedish infants and previously tested for virulence-factor-gene carriage were tested for phylogenetic type. Of the strains resident in the intestinal microflora, 60% belonged to group B2, compared with only 21% of the transient strains (P=.004). In logistic regression, group B2 type predicted persistence in the intestinal microflora, independent of carriage of all investigated virulence-factor genes, including genes for P fimbriae (P=.03). Thus, group B2 strains appear to possess yet unidentified traits that enhance their survival in the human intestine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
