Genomic epidemiology and carbon metabolism of Escherichia coli serogroup O145 reflect contrasting phylogenies

Takes a twofold approach to investigate enhanced Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O145 diagnostic culture-based methods : firstly, to use a genomic epidemiology approach to understand the genetic diversity and population structure of serogroup O145 at both a local (New Zealand) (n = 47) and global scale (n = 75) and, secondly, to identify metabolic characteristics that will help the development of a differential media for this serogroup.
