Route of infection alters virulence of neonatal septicemia Escherichia coli clinical isolates.
Escherichia coli is the leading cause of Gram-negative neonatal septicemia in the United States.Invasion and passage across the neonatal gut after ingestion of maternal E.coli strains produce bacteremia.In this study, we compared the virulence properties of the click here neonatal E.coli bacteremia clinical isolate SCB34 with the archetypal neonata
