This study uses whole-genome sequencing to characterise a strain of Escherichia coli isolated from a urinary-tract infection in Colombia, where such molecular data are scarce. Bioinformatic analysis placed the strain in phylogroup F, serotype O1:H7, sequence type 59, and identified its virulence factors — including an adhesin gene uncommon in this lineage. The work adds local genomic data that help map the bacterial strains behind common infections.
