Characterization of Escherichia coli isolates from water and food sold on the streets of Maputo: Molecular typing, virulence genes and antibiotic resistance

The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic potential and antibiotic resistance of 59 Escherichia coli isolates from ready-to-eat (RTE) street food (n = 31) and drinking water (n = 28) sold in the city of Maputo, Mozambique. The isolates were characterized by XbaI subtyping analysis via...
