AB Escherichia coli is the leading cause of urinary tract and bloodstreaminfections in humans and animals. The treatment of these infections has been seriously complicated by theappearance of multidrug-resistant isolates and especially by the rapid dissemination of extended-spectrum betalactamase-producing E. coli (ESBLEC).The present doctoral thesis includes six studies in which we evaluated the prevalence, the phenotypic and thegenotypic characteristics of sequence type 131 (ST131) strains and other high-risk clones among E. coli strainsisolated from patients with extraintestinal infections. We also study animals (pigs and dogs) as reservoirs for ST131strains and other high-risk clones.
