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.
