Pathogenic E. coli isolated from urine and vagina of patients with cystitis have similar sensitivity to antimicrobials and are genotypically identical

Caption

Susceptibility to antimicrobials, and genetic screening using multiple techniques such as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) gene PCR, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) showed identical E. coli in urine and vagina at the onset of cystitis.
