Abstract
Extra-Intestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is a predominant Gram-negative bacterial pathogen and is responsible of several diseases including Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), nosocomial pneumonia, and neonatal meningitis. ExPEC isolates are often multidrug resistant and clones producing Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) are increasingly reported all over the world.
