It allows living beings to survive the microbial disease, enhances invasive surgical procedures, ensures animal health, and protects the food chain since 1928 after the discovery of penicillin. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics and…

Introduction Escherichia coli is a common Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes invasive host infections through virulence factors such as flagella, toxin secretion, and adhesins. According to the source of the infection, pathogenic E. coli can be classified as intestinal (diarrheagenic) and extraintestinal (ExPEC). Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is the most…
