Abstract
Objective. Identification and characteristics of clonal groups of E. coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infections in the Russian Federation in 2004–2019.
Materials and methods. E. coli strains (n = 303) isolated in 2004–2019 from urine samples of patients with urological diagnoses. The microbiological, molecular genetic and bioinformatic methods for assessing resistance and virulence, as well as molecular genetic methods for identifying phylogenetic groups, O-groups and sequence types were used in the study.
Results. The widespread distribution of uropathogenic strains of the O25-B2-ST131 clonal group in Russia has been shown; in addition, O2-B2-ST141, O89-A-ST744, O4/O6-B2-ST127, B1-ST58, D-ST69, O2/O6-B2-ST73, A-CC10 and O75-B2-CC14clonal groups have been identified.
Conclusion. Assessing the distribution of clonal groups of uropathogenic strains in Russia allows to assess the epidemic situation, predict its development in the future, and also determine the optimal directions of therapy.
