Antimicrobial resistance, virulence gene profiles, and molecular epidemiology of enterococcal isolates from patients with urinary tract infections in Shanghai, China

This study highlighted the critical need to understand Enterococcal strains causing UTIs in Shanghai, given their high prevalence. By assessing antimicrobial resistance profiles, virulence gene presence, and molecular epidemiology, the research offered valuable insights into the local epidemiology o...
