UNLABELLED: A US collection of invasive Escherichia coli serotype O1 bloodstream infection (BSI) isolates were assessed for genotypic and phenotypic diversity as the basis for designing a broadly protective O-antigen vaccine. Eighty percent of the BSI isolate serotype O1 strains were genotypically ST95 O1:K1:H7. The carbohydrate repeat unit structure of the O1a subtype was conserved in the three strains tested representing core genome multi-locus sequence types (MLST) sequence types ST95, ST38, and ST59...
