Escherichia coli is the most common cause of gram-negative bloodstream infections, causing an estimated 40,000 deaths from sepsis each year in the United States. The present study sought to determine specifically which virulence factors (VFs) and phylogenetic groups of E. coli are epidemiologically associated with bacteremia.
